    Torn between two love(er)s...

    Now that I've picked up the Enclave, I'm finding it hard to dedicate time to customizing both cars (T/A). I finished half of the mods to the Buick, but still need to add the 3m Scothgard to the leading edges. Then, it's time for Zaino.

    However, the T/A is still unfinished too. I'm customizing the interior now...with custom gauges, white LEDs, silver-gray Ultra Suede door inserts, and changing the color (black w/graphite) on dash components. I'm also continuing the silver-gray accent under the dash (like the Mustangs). I've already got silver-gray Firebird logo's in my headrests, so I wanted to accentuate what's already there.

    The biggest change is the needles on the dash. I've redone them cobalt blue like the Acura/Hondas...looks much cleaner than the faded red-orange.

    Here's the gauge...the HVAC and headlight switched are being made to match. All will illuminate bluish-white...

                The gauge overlays...

                Way better than the factory stuff... it's what they should have used, actually. Not to bash the OEM, but I never liked it in the 4thgens.
