i think i like the way you had it before and with the OEM gauges. it's just a lot cleaner look that way IMO.
looks clean on the outside as well.

the main reason i changed designs was that i found a new clearcoat. the first design i used duplicolor clear and the durability isnt great. the new design i used spraymax clear. awesome stuff. i recommend it to anyone that wants to clear anything.

yes..i painted that myself and used acrylic paint, tamiya modelling paint to be exact.

i want to keep the exterior clean so no koi theme outside.

and thanks for the comments..i wanted to share since i know everyone loves pictures lol

DANGGG.. lol thats nice.. are you doing the HVAC and the Shifter surround too? i see that's primed.. tamiya huh? lol paint gundams?

i say you do scales all over your car.. and fins.. therefore its like a boxy koi fish.. lol.. or you could do more of your interior in koi.. :shrug: just ideas.. . but i like it. and i see you everywhere!.. well mostly when i bump into you on valley

lol for sure!.. maybe this weekend? or monday? im free then.. let me know.. and i'll wash my car.. hopefully these clouds go away.

why are you keeping those flat black? im sure it would flow if you did those too! but of course whatever you want to do with your car is your call. but i think it wouldnt look bad with a few more koi.. =P

fine.. keep the exterior clean XP

no word on those yet.. but they wont really fit with the xb's rear bumper.. thats about all i know so far

Nice work on the dash very original and give much respect & props for the DIY. I know you mentioned about not over doing the whole koi theme but have you giving any thought of redoing the back of the hatch. The black piece on the inside is a pretty big canvas for you to work with. Doing the back piece would help even out the koi theme with out over doing it I think.
