thanks wasnt to sure how it looked im hard to judge my own work i'll be painting and molding my body kit on this week so i'll be posting before and after pics. yeaa my fiance told me the same freaking thing bout the radio surrond. its just i didnt do it cause of a switch i have ran through it controls like 5 things didnt feel like messing with it but i'll do that to this week and post some pics
 
Hate to be the first one to say something negative but I dont like it at all....I think guages that are actually necessary are awesome, in a race car. Just looks like rice to me in a street car...Maybe if you painted the tumor on the dash to match the dash around it it'd look better, it just looks tossed on the way it is....Just way too much contrast for my taste, but your opinion is the only one that counts, its your car:)
 
I love what you did with the doors, and I've always been a fan of painting the vent surrounds and whatnot in the Focus (I have mine done too afterall :)) but I agree with Ryan that the dual guage pod sitting smack-dab in the middle of the dash needs to be the same color as everything around it :dunno:

i agree with you on the pods color but the guages are neccesary on my car one is a vacume guage that i need to make sure i'm getting enough air intake while my electric turbo isnt on. and i have the volts guage because i have alot of lights and other extracting power sources on the car. i have considered puting the guages into a radio pod so that its not a big tumor on my dash. how you think that would look?
 
^^i think it would look a million times better then the "tumor" i love everything but the huge tach and the "tumor pod"... looks cool tho bro

thanks cant do much about the tach though the car for some reason didnt come with one yet all the automatics they make have em! i dont understand ford sometimes
 
Yeah the thing on the dash has to go. Why didn't you go with an A-pillar gauge pod?? I agree the door panels look nice. As for the Tach issue, you could have just replaced the whole dash cluster with on that has a tach in it.
 
I think that'd look much better Steve :) By the way what seats are those?

-Brian
 
Exactly, plus you'd have to worry about all that BS of getting the mileage reprogrammed and stuff :) I like the tach a lot, as I said the only thing is maybe try something a bit more subtle for the dual gauge pod, even something like what [FJ] member MASSIVE did :thumbup:

Look right above your post Matt ;) I'd also like this one explained :dunno:

what you mean am i kidding? you got a problem with what i got on the car. or you just not like electric turbos. cause if you have ever used one you do notice a gain when you use it

I aint going to bash it... But I am slightly interested in seeing the type you have installed...

Only ones I've seen that produce 5-6 psi of boost, have like 3 car batteries. (and provides, like 10, 10 Second runs with boost til batteries die)

I am curious about it, that is all... Good luck with everything...
