not too bad to install just took forever because im a damn perfectionist, its a curse really, i did a custom mount for the dimmer and on off switch too so that took alot of time and also extended the wires so i could put the switch where i wanted to, but as far as hooking up the power i just used the power and ground from the radio for power

the ST and GT glow gauges ones are the same.
the 94-95 STs and all GTs have the redline start at 6200, only the 96-97 ST are 5800.

Wiring doesn't worry me, it's more of the gauge face install itself that worries me.

Did not know that. Well, that would bother me...even though I can't go to redline right now anyway.

[96stgreendemon]

yeah the gauge faces were the shortest part of the whole ordeal, just use silicone caulk to put them on with, just be sure to use the kind that air drys and not the quick drying which has a drying agent in it which may warp the gauges

Those look pretty good. Do they light up white or blue at night? Looks like a light blue in the picture.

[96stgreendemon]

more of a white color, i like them alot, just gotta change the bulbs for the needle now, it dont look so good with the **** green color needles

[richee3]

Details! Link, maybe?

[96stgreendemon]

Black and White glow gauges
here ya go im pretty happy with them so far, bright as hell thought when on all the way

[richee3]

That's not a bad deal at all. I would be more satisfied with a more stock-ish looking font, but I'll probably pick a set of those up. Great find!

so tonight i got the final piece for my ssiii replica, the ssiii grill thanks to FORGMANN

[96stgreendemon]

ok so i have done a few small things lately while still waiting for my coilovers, which i have been told may be here in early august, not gonna hold them to it, but anyways made some progress on a few exterior mods and interior mods
refinished the rims







What you all think about the rims?

Schwing and my SSIII grill
Car also has a new clutch in in and a genuine TRD shifter woot!

[richee3]

Holy awesome looking wheels, Batman! Nothing but good progress in this thread. There have never been any "Would it look cool if I did this?" moments. Only good stuff.

[HectortheRican]

Niiiiiice
Love the color man. Both car and the wheels. They blend nicely

thanks, i wasnt sure about the color at first but so much better than the silver, was just a PITA to do, strip, sand, primer, sand again, paint, wait ten minutes, paint, wait ten minutes. paint wait ten minutes, clearcoat, wait ten minutes, clearcoat, wait ten minutes, clearcoat, now wait 3 hours before they can go back on, took me all day on wednesday but so worth it all in the end

[96stgreendemon]

So a few nights ago me and some friends tackled my coilovers, went lower but not slammed like i would like because i scrape bad enough going down my driveway not, but here are some pics for ya, dont have any of the install though. the coilovers are D2 street full coilovers with front pillowball mount, new twosrus endlinks, let me know what you think

[devilsden97]

[96stgreendemon]

The riser blocks had the SS-III emblems on them when i got them, kinda what set the replica idea in motion
