As much as I would like to get rid of the fart can, I haven't heard an exhaust that sounds better than it ha.

you can kind of hear it here as I try and figure out why it sputters like that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4hNMNKf3b4

As for the display, it can be done. I don't know all the requirements for it but it was being discussed in a thread in the last few days. I do know you'll need the cluster and the wiper stalk, and will have to be creative with the wiring.

On my seats I used a spray dye from SEM - they have to be free of conditioning oils and clean. I didn't condition the seats for quite awhile and right before I masked them for the dye, I wiped them with a damp cloth. Then it was mask, spray, dry, five coats. Pulled the masking and reinstalled them, and that was it. It's a very easy product to work with.
Thank you. I'll keep looking around to see if I can find anything about it. I think I may try something similar with the seats. I think I need to get them rewrapped first, or another passenger seat

It's good stuff - called SEM Color Coat. It goes on like a spray paint (but only needs 6-7 minutes between coats) and works on a lot of surfaces. I did my seats and door inserts in Warm Gray, and did the visors, oh-**** handles, and B/C-pillars in satin black (A-pillars are wrapped in black suede). The black on the upper parts is in preparation for the black suede headliner.

What is your opinion on Brake caliper paint, and painting the intake mani and brake calipers to match? (right now they are yellow and chipping with red behind the yellow ew)

Use color-temp paint for those parts. Clean them very well, use several coats, and use a few coats of high temp clear coat afterward. It'll look good and last a long time.
