    Hey Kevin.
    Nice looking coupe. i love the towstrap idea it's somethig different you don't see here much in Aus.

    and the green dashlights really set it apart but does the glare get to you sometimes?
    they seem really bright.

    all thanks to you good sir! :D

    yea, i was actually inspired by carlos with the gt-i from portugal.
    and believe it or not, its actually quite dark. it was the camera that allowed all that light in. it is brighter non-the-less, but not blinding.

    arigato mr.roboto!

    thanks! a pleasure

    Well done! I wondered why there is a hole in the middle of the center part, then realized that the coupe has the keyhole there :)

    well, through a lot of trial and error and not listening to the members here, you have to drill holes to make them fit correctly. i highly advise if you are gonna go that route, to make a template before making the holes.....because i didnt.... and i messed up quite a few times. but in the end, i used double sided tape to hold it on. cheap and effective! shoulda done that in the first place

    honest to god truth, it was a POS in its beginnings... much blood, sweat, tears, and a lot of swearing went into getting it into the shape its in today
