I don't have any pictures worth showing. The buttons are listed on page 3 or 4, but they are tits nice. The body is stainless steel and the voltage restrictions are perfect for automotive constraints: LED's a pre-wired/setup for 3.5/5.5/12 v dc while the switch components are setup to handle up to 24v dc.

Started setting up the vinyl. it's looking pretty good now. Pictures will come later on. Glue takes 24-72 hours to fully set, which means I have to take it in steps; I'm working on the upper bar of the surround. I also will begin work on the dash itself this weekend.

Vex admitted to me through PM's that he is going to use his new found vagina power to channel his inner seemstress into this project ;)

This is the vinyl I'm using. It's called "Whisper Black" and runs about $20 a yard. It's really nice however and well worth the price. This is the texture and shine of the vinyl with a flash taken at point-blank range.

dude.... WHAT THE FUCK ARE THOSE!!!!! At least get some beatup bessy clamps, or go to the chepot and get the spring clamps for $.99 each before thinking about posting a pic like that on the internet to just further the rumor that your vagina is spreading to your head and allowing you to use what look like hairclips while doing seemstress work!!! :smilielol5::rofl::lol::rofl::smilielol5:

In all seriousness though, it looks good. I like how you're sewing the fold into the bottom.

Plastic paper clips. I sort of spaced it when it came time to glue, and rather sit there for the minutes and hours it takes to set I asked the woman if she had any paper clips (I don't have any). That's what she brought me, that's what works, that's what I used.

Preliminary Test Fit
 
4 Attachment(s)
I did a test fit with the stock dash surround for both fit and finish. As you can see, the test fit performed well. Neither color overpowers the other, and they both have a dull aged feel to them (I am not currently planning on wrapping the stock surround--but I may consider it when I reupholster the entire dash, but this will not happen until I figure out how to do proper seam accents and seams for that matter with red thread as to match my shifter boot).

Also note that the lower portion of the digi-dash surround is not glued taut yet. That should happen later today if it all goes according to plan. The buttons are pictured below. The only grip I have (the only one) is that the blue buttons are actually above the ring while the red is not. I honestly wish the red mimicked the blue in that respect, but I'm fine with all of them :).

Effiecient!!! DAMNIT!!! Not Lazy, effiecent! Quicker to have them already loaded than to have to click on each one, wait for it to load etc etc etc....

vex 03-15-2011 11:48 AM

My camera on my phone sucks, so I didn't think people would WANT to look at the big pictures unless there was something that really piqued their interest, but cest-le-vi.

I'm starting the lower portion edge wrapping.

TitaniumTT 03-15-2011 12:02 PM
