right, and I think we have to take into account where you are. In Hawaii, style is one of a kind, so a EOD Diver driving around in chamleon colored, gold straked 8 might not stick out as much as it might be down main street, USA.


the weather out there has me begging for spring.

Thanks again guys!

Imitation is the best form of flattery; though I am not sure how to do it in Ti Gray...Maybe Chrome Powdercoat the calipers and rotors; then black wheels with red lips on em...with black chrome fender vents....might look nice!

SICK...love the color scheme....I just noticed you have the SAME gauges I am puttin in and the same placements..esp the wideband in the middle of the dash pod....since I have all cobalt too, how you like how they fit the gauges/lights in the car? since they light up blueish against the red radio etc.

They really blend well! You'll dig it.

I am doing some research on the AFR gauge - so before you start tuning hit me up for the latency information.
