Yah painting the interior can look very classy if you do it right, Everybody that sees mine thinks it came stock like that.
DTN you paid 50 bucks for that strut bar? i have the exact same one and i got it off ebay for like 27 shipped lol

Yeah.... I got robbed. I saw them on ebay for like $30 before I bought it. I guess the market was lean when I paid my cash. I remember I couldn't find one for the same price I saw them before and assumed they went up. That was over a year ago.
BTW.. update your garage alex cuz there's no way in hell i'd believe that this came stock.

LOL yah i painted the shifter surround and the radio surround. the way it looks together kinda comes off like factory, obviously the RDtib sticker wouldnt be the part they think was stock lmao.
Ill see if i can dig up a pic later.
Heres a pic from my steering wheel DIY you can see the shifter and radio surround, and keep in mind when i said people thought it came like that i meant people who didnt know tiburons.

^^ Int = interior? Every RDT COTM has a painted interior with the exception of a small few.
which only points out that theres alot of people who like rice on the boards. i think most of the COTM's also have had body kits also, and quite a few have been the vader...... think that says alot on its own.
^^they are simply customizing their car. who cares if they paint the int or put a body kit on. as long as its done right whats the big deal. do you see any of us rockin APC stickers or 3' tall wings? if someone simply chooses to go the show instead of go route, let them. nothing wrong with that at all. some people think theres more logic behind it. wink1.gif

Ya... chicks don't care about a turbo. hehe j/k
I try to keep my work balanced show for go, but the more i think about how to do things, the more I realize it's a heck of alot cheaper to do show then go. I'd like to lay down $1500 to even out my show to go ratio on a super/turbo for my car, but they don't make any that cheap.

well, the good thing about more show than go.. you are less likely to get involved in illegal street races, get massive amounts of tickets for speeding or reckless driving, or even get the dreaded CEL from running boost on a car not designed for it.
Besides, with the traffic around here, I would never be able to get a car into boost.
