    New instrument cluster stripe.

    This is a little project I just finished. I putt vinyl stripes on my instrument cluster that mach the ones on the outside. What do you think?



    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    Excelent mod

    Looks very nice though !

    By the way kodiak can you tell me where did you bought the head light covers ?

    I guess you also have the tail lights covers in your VX.

    I did a internet research & found few shops offering the covers,but seems to be untrusthfull

    I'll appretiate your respond
    Dakar was just the begining.

    cool! i dunno if i could do that in my vx i think that yellow would distract me (says the guy with a metallic blue dashboard).. but it looks really unique and definitely a quality job

    hey on your engine start button.. do you turn the key to the acc mode then press the ignition button or what?

    Thanks I’m glad you like it. I don’t have light covers the VX your looking at isn’t mine.
    This is mine.

    Thanks, That's right. I just turn the key to acc and push the button.
    It's the start button out of a s2000.

    I've been trying to find out how to put a push buttom start.
    How difficult was it to do? If you could give me some directions I would really appreciate it!
    Thanks

    I can do more then that! This is a link to a wright up I found about a year ago.
    It’s not easy. I’d say it was probably the most difficult mod I’ve done on my VX.

    The hardest part was getting that wiring harness unplugged. It’s really in there good and it’s in a very tight and ocword spot.

    It was worth it. It looks good and there’s just something about pushing that button and hearing the relay click then feeling the VX come to life in your fingertip that’s just awesome.
