    New Silver Dash

    Trying this out - give me your opinion. I had a spare dash face plate and painted it a more up-to-date silver color; what do you guys think? Still trying to decide whether to paint the switch plate cover to the left of the steering wheel.

    I like the silver dash very much, but would leave the sw. plate black...it adds a nice contrast between the two.

    Don't know the MPH figure yet, but between the emblem on the steering wheel, and the one on the back, the "butt dyno" is saying 150 HP +. I think I'll go to the dyno tomorrow and do a run with the emblems and then one without - I'm SURE it will show at least 150 - 200 HP improvement. Think of all the money you guys with superchargers could have saved!!

    I gotta get me some Lambo. Or Fur-rarry badges. Probably not quite as good, but I don't want to copy you EXACTLY.

    Did the silver painted dash a couple of years ago and still like it, however I kept the black inside the cluster tunnel for better visability.
