Return of Son of Mods Shopping List

[The Rigger]

It's been a busy couple of days in the driveway...

Before:




After:





Mad props to Babybenz for the CF trim (and headlamp paint), Smart Madness for what has to be the longest-ever long-term OEM headlamp exchange in history, Parts4Smarts for the murdered gauge dials, Ernie at BPP for what I hope will be the weirdest front bumper transaction he ever has to deal with (more about that another day), and all of you who answered my questions over the past six months, you know who you are.

More photos in my gallery, or at http://rigger.smugmug.com/gallery/7998960_9syXf

Whew!

Nice bunch of work.

The pods and speedo show up as a superb touch among the multitude of Smartable goodness.

No, the problem was I was a clamhead and forgot how to use the direct-link-URL thingie.

(I'd have a helluva time with the 12Mp errors, since my camera's only a 10Mp...)

Yeah, the custom dials turned out even sexier than the original photos that Harald posted here earlier this year. I love the way the warning triangle & turn indicator arrows in the speedo are hidden until their lights go on. It's a very clean look that my photo doesn't come near to doing justice to.

All the mods look great. Do you have a close up pic of the clock/Tach faces. I am very interested in getting a set like that. Can you email me the info on those items along with some close up pictures? Thanks. Gasman mcazabon@tampabay.rr.com

Harald at Parts4Smarts has them custom-made in Europe. He's a supporting vendor here. They're a bit on the expensive side, and take some time to special-order (like ~6 weeks or so) but I couldn't be happier with the new dials.

The speedo dial is especially sexy, as you can't see the turn indicator arrows or the alert triangle at all until they light up - complete stealth.

Looks FANTASTIC if I must say!!!!!!!!!!!
