Finally, a proper profile and welcome. I'm curious on how you did that shift plate.

Love the car...  Can you post a picture of the head lights on....


Title: Re: Kschwiggys profile
Post by: kSchwiggy on June 24, 2009, 09:02:11 PM
thanks for the comments...

ibcnunv-- actually the ebay projectors are no longer on the car... i took them off, and completely took them apart/cut them up. the housings will be used to make my dual retrofit with AFS bixenons when i get to it.

crackerteg-- the plate was a prototype and needs to be redone... but it is basically a thin sheet of aluminum cut to size with the hole cut out in the middle, lightly brushed with sandpaper.. and the center piece is a piece of plastic held up to the aluminum plate via a spring underneath

Fenix/Paulius.... i have a thread detailing the process in the Interior Styling section.. check it out!

yup same statement/question


Title: Re: Kschwiggys profile
Post by: kSchwiggy on June 25, 2009, 12:36:42 PM
nope... theyre pictures of my first attempt at the white/red color scheme (the red bar needs to be redone to look smoother), AND the numbering on the tachometer will be changed so that redline is 6800 rpm, not the s2000's 9k rpm. but the cluster hasnt changed looks since those pictures yet so they are the most current pics. once the bezel is complete... i will look into changing the face of the cluster, that is Stage 2 of the project.
