    Good job, etl. Looks pretty spiffy. Now, who makes your brake and gas pedals? I am about to upgrade my interior and they look like just the thing for my Proton. Thanks!

    the pedals are actually APC (got em at advanced auto)... the brake petal was a royal PITA to attach, only 2 of 4 clips fit on at a time because the stock brake petal is so small, what i ended up doing is getting small pieces of steel to "extend" the brake petal so it reached, ill see if i can get some pics that show what i had to do

    Looks nice.
    So you bored out the knob, not the shifter shaft, ight?

    What's with that climate control panel? That isnt stock... I like it.

    Well...yes it is, the 00 & 01 models have climate control, just us "99'ers" have the "Flintstone" HVAC controls.

    yep climate control is stock for now (will be changing the color of the lights soon i hope)... and yea, i ended up drilling out the collar of the shift knob with a hand held drill at very low speeds to cut down on heat, drill press was just too powerful and kept throwing the collar out of the vice...i used a 9/16" drill bit in case anyone else ever needs to do similar
