Feel like a drive over to Cleveland? Morads has just about everything else you need for your all black interior swap. Complete ebony carpet and both rear quarter panels. Trim for around the door handles, too.

I'd consider it if he wasn't so darn overpriced lol, I have plenty of black full interiors around me, just need to pull them and get the money for them, I'm trying to limit my spending lately lol

I'm also looking into headers for the monte, but nobody makes any at a decent price.

Usually, yes. If you wheel and deal with Erik he'll usually knock things down. But this other guy they have Rick, he's a real a$$. I'm looking for heated seat switches - they've got it on their eBay page for 19.99 plus 8 shipping - he wanted to charge me 40 shipped 35 for local pickup... Um hey, what happened to 20?

As far as headers, I know, I love Milzy's price - over 1k w/ a downpipe, forget that.

I'll grab you a switch tomorrow if you need it, probably like $15 shipped if you didn't buy it already..

I'm not getting Milzy's or WOT-Tech, they both want like a grand, definitely nowhere near worth that price no matter what anyone says

Thanks man! Hopefully when summer rolls around I can get everything put together and everything else powdercoated that needs to be finished!

Fixed a couple of the pictures also, since I guess I messed them up lol

I got the car home and got her detailed by Gothkid



Duke was getting an enjoyment out of the weather..



I'll have to do a full photoshoot when I get home this weekend, it was a little chilly that weekend.

I started the week by wiring up an autodim/onstar mirror, I really wanted autodimming.



I then tinted my gauge cluster, this wasn't taken with a good camera but it's black until you turn on the lights, but still clearly visible during the day.





I also repainted my turn signals to get rid of the ugly amber color.



After I painted them I decided I was sick of the crappy finish on the headlights so I restored them a bit.



As you may be able to tell in the above photo, my turn signals are now different also, I went with the switch back LEDs, you can see them in the video below.



I also put the hood liner back in and repainted the lower grille and my new plate filler (this pic is after a couple hundred miles after the detail)



I also got a start on my black interior swap



I also put some work into cleaning up the toolbox, but the week quickly came to an end..



so everything waits in the back of the monte....



I also got some more filming/photo gear...



and just today I got some more engine goodies in... powdercoated valve covers and MSD wires (going to use as my backup set of wires, plan on going ZZP wires)







Here's my spring break updates video:

I also gave my brother a little demo of my system: (some bad language in the songs FYI)

I have some action videos also that I'll be joining together here soon!

I'm also going to try the doctorcolorchip system, I'll post some results in a separate thread here soon!

A couple more!

These were done by 2 different powdercoaters but match almost exact!




And I picked up the front highsport today! Still gotta ****** the SS sides or HS sides. Whatever I find first. I'll get some better pics of these tomorrow possibly!
