If you want to mount your 3rd brake light on the wing.I will look up the one I used.It fit into the grove on the bottom of the wing and has 15 led's,is about 10" long.I ran the wires from my brake lights through the trunk braces and up through the wing.I got my roll bar from Doug,only mine has a Petty bar and the driver side door bar.They are both removable for street use.He does good work,if anyone wants a quality roll bar.Don't buy the ones from Jegs,they don't even fit in the car.Best of luck in your racing.

I dunno yet. Why? You want them? Between them and the ones in my parts car, I'm sure we can work something out.
Well, I've been looking for some, and I wouldn't have to pay shipping if i bought yours . My passenger seat has a cigarette burn, and the driver side bottom skin is showing a little wear.
PM me if you're interested in selling them, I don't want to hijack your thread anymore than I already have

CarPC has been temporarily installed. Remaining tasks: Build custom 6" or 8" sub to install where factory sub goes and install additional amp to handle sub. Build permanent mount for CarPC. Install fire extinguisher.
I really love the interior, keep up the good work, + to you! I actually have a black/yellow fiero to go with it, too bad i haven't gotten off my rear to do anything w/the interior. I really like the whole carPC idea too, i had been thinking about doing something like it.

I must respectfully agree with Voided. The colors clash, they're painful to my eyes!
However, I can see you've done a lot of good quality work. If it were not for the colors, I'd like it quite a bit. It's obvious that you want to grab people's attention with your car. I believe you will succeed!

It is a bit wild, but yes, the purpose is to garner attention to the car. Its not something I would have normally considered, but I think it looks good. Everyone has a different opinion. The yellow on the dash is a problem. I'm gonna need to get a dash mat to hide the reflection of it in the windshield. Still looks kool though.
The CarPC won't work under the hood though. The heat from the radiator is heating up that front compartment too much and the computer just shuts off (overheats) at a stop after driving it on the highway. I'll probably have to move it behind the drivers seat. Bummer. I was hoping the front compartment would work. I wonder if I can sufficiently insulate that compartment from the radiator heat??? Hmmm.......

Awesome work, the colours are pretty wild but I think it actually looks really good. When you build the box for the 8 or 10 inch sub in the stock location, could you send me some details and some pictures? I really need to get rid of my 8 inch bass tube and build a box for it. It would help a lot.

It will be for a 6" or 8" sub. I'll calculate as big a box as I can, then find a speaker that will work properly with that size. I'm quite certain the box will be too small for a 10". Also, I prefer very tight bass so the box will be a sealed box, not ported. And yes, I will document the construction so I can be duplicated.
It is very easy to build a sub to fit under the dash, I made one out of a cement pipe form, and fiberglass, came out great. heres the thread, a few posts down
You are in need of a shifter chopping and some nice petals.
I was looking at the shifter today. I always figured on putting a chopped shifter in, but looking at it today, I don't know. The height is almost perfect for the reach. If I do, it won't be much. This is a show/go car so pedals are a definite as well as some underbody neon to attract the younger croud. I've never been a big fan of neon, but a tasteful amount at the car shows attracts a lot of attention.

How did the seats fit? Do they interfere with the center console or e-brake? What line of Corbeau seats are they?
The seats were difficult to install. I had to totally remove the "feet" on the Corbeau rails AND remove the rear seat mount support rail to get the height of the seat down low enough so I wasn't sitting on the ceiling. They are the TRS model. They slightly interefere with the e-Brake. If you e-brake it out of adjustment, it would be a little difficult to fully engage it at the very top. Since I have the 5-speed and keep the brake adjusted properly, it is not a problem at all. Nothing else is an issue. You can even remove/install the center console without interference from the seats.

Thanks + for you
Ah, someone rated me with the golden plus. I finally got my bar. Thanx guys......

That image in the link with the box dimensions is what I am starting out with too. I had found that about 6 months ago and it seems those dimensions will work well for an 8" sub. I was thinking about making the box out of clear and/or tinted lexan. Those dimensions shouldn't flex much at all and a transparent box has many show advantages!

I wanna see a tan-black interiorscape to that effect. I think that'd be swank. beechwood int. black carpet, beechwood leather MrMike's with black inner, throw in carbon fiber trim in places, and you've got yourself a subdued, but Very tricked out int. but That's just me. lol
I'm sure there's people who'd say I was boring lol

Man ! that thing looks GOOD !! Is it going to GLOW INT THE DARK ?
Hahaha. It sorta does. I put blue lights for the interior lighting and it looks pretty kewl at night.
Speaking of glowing, I had an idea. Neon under the nose. Instead of using neon, I thought of using a black light and painting the front of the radiator with that "invisible" paint that glows under a black light. Should make a cool effect. I'm going to look into that today.

I missed the finished pics. This really turned out nice.

LOVE the touchscreen in the interior. This is what i'm planning on doing with mine as well. What brand/make/model touchscreen did you use? What are you using the CarPC for? For mine i'm planning on a wireless network where I can upload MP3's and other stuff directly to my car.
