I actually started this topic in the Post a pic of your car thread. Moving here so I don't hijack that thread. I believe Jeremy/Dark5 mentioned he is interested in results.

Here is link to see it http://www.eautoworks.com/html/ORD-1-1-1-34196.cfm

Ordered it few weeks ago from Chux Trux, finally came in. Took it there today for prefit. Good news, is it fits real nice. Does it look factory....I can't say it really does. Does it fit well....yes, has the factory contours and snugs up to vent/console/gauge openings real well. Bad news is, I have to take off my red carbon fiber trim for it to fit. But after it is installed, I might be able to reapply the trim.

You can order it with a triple guage pod, real nice-blends in with dash at top front and center above the audio console. You can also order it with a flame mode. I am not building race car, so I didn't get the guage dash. Didnt care for the flame mode too much, so got smooth finish. Plan to have it painted the factory redfire metallic clearcoat-same as car. Removed the factory center vent trim insert and corner vent inserts and going to have them painted along with dash.

Was thinking of taking it to Weavers Body on Johnson Drive, have no prior experience with them. Anyone have recommendations for a good paint shop? I work in Corporate Woods, would prefer recommendations near johnson county.

When it is complete, I will post some pics here.

JUst to let you guys know I can also get Nu-Image products, if needed. I used to have a lot of stuff Painted at Weaver's. They do pretty good work. I also had my 97 t-bird that got hit from the side right at the firewall about 8k in damage, done there,I was pretty pleased overall even though I still traded it off first chance I had. I am having a guy at a hot -rod shop up the street from me painting my speedster cover right now, He does really nice work, you could also call him for a quote, Barks 913-220-1364 ask for Mark. www.barksenterprisesinc.com.
