Spent the day doing a few details... Aluminum Trim, CF details, car wash- ->
 

I decided to swap out my birds eye belt line trim for the Sport Aluminum...

I was actually able to do the job without removing the center console!!

Also changed the center console to the matte black trim pieces..

Then I made a custom insert for my Rob Knob out of Santorin Carbon Fiber weave... It's the only CF on the car..so I think I am flying under the Ricer Radar...

Last, my daughter and I washed the cars...this resulted in a water fight, and two skinned knees!!

Is that what that shift surround looks like new? I never would have guessed...

looks good man, nice work! your daughter is adorable :)
 

happy fathers day! sounds like you had a good one :)

got any tips for swapping the center piece?

Looks nice BTW! :)

Looks great...I'm a big fan of the aluminum trim. Your daughter is a cutie!

Where did you get the aluminum trim and the boost guage?
 

I've got a few dinged up pieces to replace.

Also, that's a really nice gauge setup.

Alcantara convered...

Re: Where did you get the aluminum trim and the boost guage?
 

The trim came from Dad's Auto. But you can get it from the dealer, or Achtuning.

I made the gauge setup.

Oh I see it now. Mine is so messed up so I just thought that's what it used to look like.

Thanks!
 

My wife made me delete her picture...

I printed instructions and put them up for sale on ebay- - ->
 

j/k..

I'll update you on it tomorrow...I'm exhausted.

Ditch the boost guage get an AWE
 

other then that looks good

Looks awesome! I really dig the silver trim on black everything else! Uber-classy!

All this time I thought the lovely young woman in your sig was your daughter...
 

She's your wife?

any good pics of the awe, still trying to decide if it looks "stock" enough for me
 

I've spent this year attempting to minimalize all of my interior mods. I would hate to add a boost guage like the AWE and have everyone ask "what's that".

(They used to say that about my: Ipod, turbo timer, nokia car kit, and V1)

Gotta tell you...I think the AWE gauge looks like crap- ->
 

What auto designer would put a boost gauge in the middle of an AC vent as OEM equipment? It would never happen. It <b>has never happened</b>, surely for a reason.

The design I have is a direct spin-off of the center mounted clocks and gauges like you can see in the Jaguar, the 300m and the Phaeton.
