more updates, so since the stock Acura CL-S cluster is kind of lame and bland. i Bought some Acura CL automatic type r glow face gauges off of ebay. They never made a Manual glow face version. So i am making one from scratch, and getting it made into Glow face.
the odometer, and fuel/temp gauge are the same. so now on to creating the tachometer gauge!

heres a picture of the glow face original auto

i went a head and drawn up template for my project start.

proto-type test print, to see if the hole line up. indeed it does 100%. Made all the graphics from scratch too

once the final detail and etc added to the prototype tachometer. ill get it sent out to be printed on plastic clear vinyl. then attaching it to one of my EL panels.

[masterek]

So iv'e been busy, and decided i wanted to stick with the same color scheme. so i kept the original color. and finally got it finished. the interior is a mess! but will be dying my interior black.

enjoy the pictures

a bit dirty and needs a wash.

engine bay super dirty :/

since I've got it home started to strip the interior for dying.

Then i started to apply the anti-rust black paint to the interior

I started to prep the surface for black dye.

Black dyed interior

modified my door panels with red vinyl

rear panels

dyed my trunk carpet too.

I then installed my new CTR red carpet

getting my Re-upholstered Recaro racing seats ready to be installed.

also my rear seats, my top back rest are taking forever to be finished, still need to use the heat gun to get the leather to stretch right.

installed my custom gauge cluster gauge face as well.

Re-installed everything but the rear seat back rest.

also cleaned up the engine bay up a bit.

still alot to do, need to re-install my side marklet lights, clean up the engine bay, finish my rear seat back rest. install my trunk carpet. etc.
