I know you already saw them lit up in my F1F HID install thread, but I thought I'd squeeze a couple more shots of them into this thread:

A few *more* tweaks since my last update on this never ending project:

I installed some HID lights in my Hella 90mm low beam modules:

The HID lights are from TLG-Auto, ("Oslo")
They're 6000K ("diamond white"...I hate those blue tinted HIDs)

I installed LED side marker turn signals on all 4 corners:




and installed LED / DRL accent lights above the front turn signals:


TLG-Auto.com will be offering the DRLs, accent lights and side marker / turn signal kits.
If you like mine, you can get some for yourself from TLG

I also changed out the black bezels on the 3 center gages.
The aluminum bezels look better with my Momo steering wheel, my shifter, the billet HVAC buttons and the new aluminum face plate I fabricated around the stereo head unit:

The gages all have a nice cobalt blue glow:

Also changed out the switch for my new LED driving lights and a new momentary button for the rear deck lid release:

Both the momentary button and the rocker switch are off-the-shelf parts from Radio Shack. They're very good quality. Much better than anything you'll find at the auto parts store.
There's a small amber LED hidden just above the lower switch to indicate that the driving lighhts are on. The lights are also wired to ignition switched power in case I shut off the car and forget to turn them off.

I made a concealed ashtray switch panel:

Nothing hooked up to them right now, but I have some future plans for them

Just a thought... you could dissamble the brake and gas pedal and plate the gas pedal (I painted mine 'bumper chrome') and strip/polish the aluminum pedal to stand out in that black interior (mine wasn't a super clean job, but the black paint came off easily enough) you'll see the brake pedal could use some detailing.

Randy,
I really like the look of your interior, did you paint your plactic factory bezels matte black? They look nice that way. also what is involved in getting a nice steering wheel in the car, is it a bolt on or is there an adapter necessary? peace

Pete,
Yes, I painted the OEM bezels with SEM satin black.
I have a set of machined aluminum bezels for the IP, center console and shifter console, but I thought they added too much silver to the interior.
Trying to keep the aluminum / silver to just the accents for the interior and not over-do it. Sometimes "less is more" if you know what I mean.
You need an adapter to install an aftermarket steeering wheel like the Momo one I have in a Fiero. I used a low profile adapter from NRG that puts the steering wheel at the same distance from the driver as the stock Fiero wheel.

The Momo steering wheel adapters are all too long and push the steering wheel back toward the driver by 3" or more depending on the amount of "dish" to the wheel, so if you don't want your custom steering wheel in your chest, the NRG adapter is the way to go.
