Wow, did we already talk about how to paint thread yesterday? You got it done today? Damn that's gotta be new record for fast job lol

Did you read my mind or something? That's how I want to make my car look like this. I have planned for this since June. Look like you beat me but it is good to know how mine will look like this in galaxy silver color.

*edit* did you just spray the dog bone without remove them? I noticed some silver spray spot.

Palsut - I did NOT take them off - i know it would've been more visually nice but .. i just wasn't personally comfortable with taking off mounts that hold my engine lol!

And yeah i figured i had the ENTIRE afternooon / evening to get this done so i jumped on it. Not a problem, better than buying a dash kit for fricken 50 bucks off ebay thats for sure ..

Um - Its removeable, there is a few guides on the net its actually quite simple once you get the hang of it .. just removed it and used a Krylon (plastic) type of paint .. went with silver since the car is that colour.

Did you have a bowl of rice when you did that?? lol J/K.

at least you didn't paint it fluorescent green!

If you put a big 3 level wing on your trunk we are gonna have words...

lol

car looks nice!

GM has some weird combos, dual climate control, but no DIC ??

Yeah WTF ! I noticed all these sweet DIC's and i have this POS thats called a DIC lol. Whatever, not like it is needed THAT much. I'm happy and content with what i got, for now.

Are you able to buy a different one? I'm sure its do-able?

well I swapped one in, some cars have the connector hiding in the dash so its just cake. But like mine I had to do plenty of cutting and splicing.
