I use those belts too (plastic loop is broken on driver's side, it's a pain). I just titled it that way because I don't know why we took pictures of them.

Oh i get the titles now ....... actually i use my lap belt on highways if i'm gonna be on for more than 20 minutes, since i'm usually doing 80mph plus....... but once in a while i forget
my girl always uses it tho.... its probably coz i use everyday driving around town as autocross practice

But yeah, PseudoReality flipped his Pro right??

ask PseudoRealityX. he used his lap belt, it saved his life.

Smart move. Unless you wanted to slide out from under the shoulder belt by not having a lap belt

Why the exploding Azenis?

Actually I was commenting on the pic of the Falken Azeni in Cablemirc's signature. He had one blow out on him. But Jesse (Pseudo) fell asleep at the wheel doing about 70 or 80 or something like that

Are you serious!?!? Today I was in my protege on the highway and I was doing 70 and there was so much road noise and stuff. Sounded like the car was working really hard to go that speed. That might be because the engine needs some work though which it will be getting soon . Anyways, I'll have more pics up. I have to buy more supplies (gloss, more paint, primer, etc) so I can finish the painting. Plus I'll be getting some blue bulbs for the interior. Is there a way to change the dash light color? Are those just LEDs? Once I get $30 or so I'll finish up and post the pics. I only have about 30% of it done so far.

the only color that you can really change the dash to is red... if you put in blue bulbs it'll still end up looking kinda green... because everything is tinted green. They are just 194 bulbs, I think. kinda a pain to get to, too.

If i'm not mistaken, most of the bulbs have a green condom-looking thing on them.... especially the instrument cluster ones....

So far I've decided my interior is going to be black and silver with blue lights on the interior. I've painted some parts but they have a chalky sort of feel even though they're dry. Should I put a clear coat on? Would that make them feel smooth? I'm not sure what I should do at this point.
