Seats are up next. to those who have removed factory seats, have you retained the stock buckle? How do you get around the fasten seat belt sign flashing when you're using harnesses?

Maybe my car was programmed not to chime from the beginning but I never had a chime since I started using harnesses. I just unplugged the seats and rolled with it. Even since I've taken the belts completely out I haven't had a chime. Good luck.

They both look good but the white looks better IMO. It helps the white roof and stripes flow. like you said>>you can always remove it. It's nice to know that it's not permanent if you change your mind.

X2...I like the white better! :p

LOL I thought most didn't like the Laguna Feca white. I'll see how the Plasti Dip wears. I scratched it on one side as I was installing it and I was being very careful. Easy to fix though.

Like boss man said, I think it fits in well with the rest of the white on the car. Embrace the FECA!!! lol

It's in the manual on how to turn the chime off and then you just ignore the light. Gary's the expert on this. If I find his email I'll forward it to you.

Brembo's?

Thanks for the email last night Rick. I don't know if seat belt lights would have bugged me, but we'll see what it does without them.

Brembos are unfortunately back on because The Welds wouldn't fit up front without them. the stoptechs are quality pieces. I'm going to miss them. :(

If anyone is interested, I'll have some Stoptech ST60 380mm/15" brakes with almost new Carbotech XP24s and two sets of spare rotor rings up for sale soon.

My son was going for a different look for his truck grille & wheels and tried that stuff out.
Happy with the results. Fairly durable but grippy texture.
Cleaning may require a little more effort and the use of a soft bristle brush - large bugs are the worst.
You don't have to be gentle with Plastidip if you put enough coats on it, 5+ coats is what I would suggest.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

I'm sure you don't need me to pile on...but your car and the KB Track Attack cars are the reasons I got a white Boss grille for my KB GT, and plasti-dipped my Saleen grille white for the track .

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Okay, I'll chime in. I think black is better looking than the white. Perhaps there's a bit of bias in play here...

Received "Gripper" gear shift knob from MGW, George was correct, this knob really helps with precise shifts and to me, it really enhances the MGW setup. Ordered with "BOSS 302" logo.

I like the black grill better! flows nicely with the lower bumper of the 12's

Got any pics of the shifter?

I just dropped the car off to Rev Auto for the trans rebuild. If the price comes out reasonable enough, I may jump in and do an aluminum driveshaft and diff gear alignment to get rid of the whine.
