    If anyone has bought a new dash, say like an SS one or monaro one, or have repainted there own one plz show me pics. I am getting my uncle to paint mine properly next week but i dont know how light i should go, i want silver. Idealy i want it the same as my headunit surround but it might be too light.

    SHOW ME, SHOW ME, SHOW ME!!!

    Sprayed in 2PAC by Panel Beater.. Basically sprayed the same way a bumper would be. It's tough as nails and glossy as hell..

    FFS.. If you've got an auto, drive it like a friggin auto. Auto's are meant to be left in drive, unless you're using the gears for something..

    If you love shifting so much, get a blaaardy manual and shift away to your hearts content..

    Besides, if you need a shift light and tacho to tell you to shift up, you shouldn't be shifting gears in the first place.. Deary me..

    I dunno why, I just think it looks crappy when the coin pocket (non-power windows models) is painted!

    Been a delay on my dash...

    For 'Hairy Eater', my uncle is painting it with the same paint he used on my cuz's Lancer. Its a sik looking silver, lighter than the 'ss' dash's. I didnt ask how he was going to paint it and prep work, etc when i gave it to him but will ask when i get it back from him. Should be about 8 days, and i'll take some pics when its in....Cheers
