either that or where can i get one of those aluminium dash kits for an LS integra?
never seen any sort of dash kit for the LS, I painted the big plastic bit on the dash recently (silver too, what a coincidence.... ;) ) I actually used Tamiya model paint! been on there for about 5 months now and still holding up fine, but i don't park my car in the sun much dunno how much that would affect it. i got a replacement plastic bit from the wreckers- freebie cos i know the guy, so that if i didn't like it or broke something on removal i had a backup.
dont forget to use some wax and grease remover before painting.....
yea i'll get some prepsol onto it
i did the same - just used some cheap n nasty spray paint from home hardware.. looks great, but if you rub it with your finger it'll come off slowly .. i figure using ESL or some kind of base will stop that problem.
as for the dash - you can buy the moulded backing that goes around your dials.. i found it for $40 - thought it was too much for a simple cut piece of silver plastic...
if you manage (or anyone else knows, how) to easily get off the center console and the drivers side air vent with the sunroof control, let me know.. as i can't figure it out :(
imminent- check on g2ic.com do a search of the forums or look in the teg tips i'm sure i saw something like a detailed description of the process somewhere on the site.
cheers for that. will link if i can find it
I have a 2-pac painted cluster surround, the black panel around the air-condition, the left hand vent... the door plastics and window switches were silver but they have been repainted black... but the 2 pack silver is still underneath.Quote:

Do you want to sell it?? I cannot find any of them here in Victoria for saleQuote:

sorry tegboy but i wouldn't sell it you never know could come in handy one day. surely you have a honda wreckers somewhere you can go to? for a bit like that it should be easy to find off just about any wrecked gen 2, I wouldn't think there would be a huge demand for them?.. good luck!
