go head and hit that footwell up, playa!!! hahahaha.

seriously...it makes all the difference in the world. just use another set of 194 LEDs but you will have to hardwire it in. i actually bored out the holes and the bulbs sat in the perfectly....

 

hahaha, damn you man! when i saw that picture i was like UGH what is that yellow glow in my footwell??? then i was thinkin, how one of you with good eyes would see it and say that. but as soon as you said "hardwire and bore it out" i said to myself, hmm, that can wait

 

Awesome thread bro!!! Just got in trouble from my boss reading the thread for the past hour!!! Lol, he'll get over it. Nice attention to detail, this definitely gives me more confidence to tackle my GS400! Thanks again! Freaking Sweet car!!!

 

its all good, my man. your whip is next level. greatest part is you did the work yourself. those tail lights are AMAZING!!! im not gonna shark your style...but you showing us how to do it is making it verrrrrry tempting.

now....uhh....where did you get that shift ****?

 

thats hilarious man. the best part is when they said Hey! you been on there for an hour, get back to work! you were like, hold up! let me at least post on it first!

 

I got the shift **** off eBay it was only 14.99 but took about 2 weeks to get here from japan.
But it matches the Tan Leather almost perfectly. The wood is a little more of a cherry but still matches well and it feels better than the factory to me.
here it is - http://www.ebay.com/itm/370761070766...84.m1497.l2649

regarding the tail lights, i don't mind if you bite my style. its a compliment!
Funny look what showed up on K2Motors Facebook Page today

 

Is words can't express how much I love ur work !!!! Keep it up !

 

i really appreciate that man

 

So a few people asked me to show what the exhaust sounds like. Excuse the slight audio distortion, DR05 couldnt handle the wind and i didnt feel like doing another one. GoPro Motorsports suction cupped it to the door.
sorry my babe is a lil dirty -

Sloppy lil clip i put together

 

Got a Nasty old Worn Out Shift ****?
Let's remedy that

ok, copped a sewing machine for $70. <-- cheaper than buying a new OEM **** haha
( i have never used one before so dont expect to be blown away

lets get to it
So, here was my original shifter. **** all nasty and worn out. My idea was to make it look like a Manual instead of an Automatic.



Bought this Universal **** on ebay for $14 to match my leather and under my hand is my OLD worn out leather armrest which i already replaced. But that leather is going to come in handy



Measured and made a template out of paper towels haha



I have left over Vinyl from my '50 so i figured i would make a quick boot out of this to make sure before i cut up my armrest



Stiched from the inside so the seams are hidden



Fits pretty well. I heard people that use the NSX boot cant make the full stretch all the way down to our Low 3,2 gears. Lets see



makes the stretch!



Deconstructed my OEM **** hoping i could steal the coupler/threads out of it. The **** i got off eBay is universal with a Bigger hole and uses cheap set screws to hold it on. I wanted it to thread tightly though



So i tapped a 8m 1.25 thread into a Nylon coupler from Ace hardware. Then i dropped it in the new **** with a good amount of gorilla epoxy and let her dry.



ok, i only get one shot with whats left of my oem leather. Here we go. Template cut.



Steeyatch!



Made all the stitches from the inside so they will be hidden when turned inside out



Secured the new boot from under with a few zip ties.



Wa-Laa!



Much better



I think i might do one more, with not so many seams. Maybe go to a fabric shop and match my color with some vinyl. I think i can do one of these with just one or 2 seams at the most, or even a nice zig zag or piped stitch. But i am quite happy with how this all turned out.

took a couple Sunset pictures with the Tri-Pod you can do a couple cool things with multiple exposures

 

Wanted that Dual Fog Light look without the price?

haha, this is kind of a janky way to do it but it didn't cost me a penny!
So this is temporary until i fabricate a bracket and mount some real LED lights in there.

clean em up and try to scuff em as good as i can but they are glass so..



Use airbrush mask over them and a protractor set at 1in to lay perfect circular 2 inch holes



ready for paint



This is NINE coats of paint! 2 primer, 4 black base, 1 black onyx, 2 clear.
Why so much? 1. I wanted to make sure the yellow light / bulb didnt shine through the paint.
also, because i know one hard rock chip can make this look all bad.
Fogs take a lot of abuse



Back on the car!
