200sxray Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 couple of pictures of the car and the next stage i had to think about where i wanted my 60mm Apexi boost gauge mounted so i have come up with this little solution, wanting to make it look like it was meant to be their. smoothed the body filler and then applied a celly solution to get rid of the pin prick holes the dash sections will be getting sent for Flocking now so they should look nice and OEM+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
