    Yep! Pro-coat is who I use.

    **EDIT** They've treated me very well over there. the Protege cover was quoted @ $125, but afterwards he told me he should have quoted more for the labor on polishing the ribs and the letter frames.

    When I picked up the alternator halves, I asked how much did he want and he said that there's normally a $75 minimum, but that seemed like too much so he charged me $50.

    Door panels looks like they were just shipped from the factory. AWD panel is to die for!

    Thanks! I can't wait until its completely done. Here's how it looked before the (re)build. I had an identical ZOOM tombstone that I covered in simulated brushed aluminum vinyl. I also covered the RS console. But, after a while, I got tired of the brushed aluminum look, especially when the different finishes from all the shiny bits don't match.



    After the dyeing...


    I ordered a new 3-gauge dbl-DIN panel from DDMWorks to replace my old 2-gauge version. Now I have room for six Pro-Sport Halo Series auxiliary gauges to monitor all I need to know about the engine: A/F ratiometer, boost, EGT, fuel pressure, oil temperature and voltage.

    Some other things for the build:

    GReddy oil catch can


    Work rear bumper w/single exit. It will require some work by my fiberglass guy to fix some cracks, cut out a larger exhaust exit and paint.


    I originally planned to get two trumpets from a new Corvette exhaust and have a custom center-exit exhaust built, but I have a set of Corksport NB Duals that have been taking up space in my garage for more than 5 years, so I think I'll cut the piping, lay the cans parallel to each other and create my own custom 'shotgun-style' center exit exhaust.

    Thanks, but I don't like any of the options I've seen over the years.

    The interior is refurbished to practically new. The last thing to be done will be new seat skins.

    Is that the original carpet? How (Or who did you use) was the re-dye done?
