I might take some interior pics and see what I can accomlish with Photoshop ... cause I really didn't think orange would be too bad of a color to go with yellow. We'll see .. thanks for the input guys.

I didn't know how to take 'em apart...didn't want to break 'em. I've got to redo my center panel...so I think I'll do it then.

Nice job...

Good write up. It's a big plus when guys like you take the time to write up and photograph your projects.

Thanks, I was impressed with the cheap *** E-bay bezel fitting so whell and giving off such a good finish.

I dont want to spend too much on the exterior or the body, I like to put my money into "go fast" parts, but It was Soooooooooo Drab, That 40 bucks of paint was worth it.

I want to switch from 2 exposed cup holders to a flip lid.

Will I need just the cover plate and the cup holders (would my curent cup holders switch over?) do I need to switch somenthing else too?

Dude...when i get the car back..it's getting done....after not having her for what's going on 3 weeks now...I have a new found enthusiasm to redo that center I was being lazy about too.
My Dad is coming up to So. Florida for Thanksgiving...and he's a huge Mazda Protege fan, so I really want him to see it in person, pics over the net don't do it justice until yu actuallt sit & see it in person.
By mid November, I hope to atleast have my CF hood & the Sport20 tail lights....I think I may sell the tinted tails I have now, maybe keep them actually & get another set to redo....but this will be after I get the J-Spec ones.
