If i wanted to have this done to my DCC would you be able to tell me if you could do it, and how much you would charge me... i'd like to change the lighting on my DCC to red but im a bit electrically challenged. Can you pleae help... Let me know
You would be looking at around $10 if you want just red bulb condoms over the original bulbs. I used green covers on mine..... of course I don't really have any pics of it to show you. If you want LED's or something it would be a lot more. I can also try to get red bulbs instead of using the covers. Actually now that I think about it, I don't have a source for the small red bulb condoms anymore. They stopped carrying them. I will have to look into it a little more for you. Send me an email and I'll keep in contact with you about it.

Toby,

i tired emailing about it, but not sure if you got my email. I dont necessarely need it to be LED's but im sure thatd be the easiest way and prolly better matching to my cluster since i got the bulbs and needle kit from import intelligence.

I'll try to send you another email, it'd be from my work... since right now im currently deployed to kuwait. If there's a way that you'd be able to work this for me i'd highly appreciate it man.

Do you not mind having the vents anymore because of the gauges? I was thinking about doing the same thing as you but I need A/C as it gets a little warm here in the summer.

If you block off the center vents like I did it will just push more air through the other vents. It's not bad at all, and it looks so fresh!

As Stripes said, it simply pushes more air through the remaining vents. A/C is also a must for me. It gets up to 100 degrees here in Illinois with 100% humidity...... which is arguably worse than 115 degrees and no humidity where you are at. Don't sweat it..... no pun intended!

Hey what's up bro!

No, I am picking them up on Sunday. I received all of my Bride material and the drivers side rail on Tuesday. The passenger side rail is on back-order until the end of next week. I already sold my front and rear seats that I have in there now. The guy is picking those up next Tuesday. He is giving me an OEM rear seat that I will use as my new seat that I will reupholster.

Best s13 interior I've seen in my life.
A high quality interior and excellent finishes!
The interior of your s13 is my model with my s13

I wanted to ask you some questions if is possible...
The center console cover,
Image

in what color is painted? in matte black or some special black?
Then the cover of shift lever, black with red stitching, where you buy it? I'm interested in buying one for my s13 as well as my steering wheel also has red seams.

The pedals are also very nice, where I could get one like?

Sorry for my poor english :blush: and thnks!

Actually, this interior is long gone. I have since redid the entire thing.....

You can check out this link for my current interior. I think the finished interior pics are around page 6 or so.

The pedals are out of a 350z that I modified to fit.

I don't do upholstery work for others, only for myself. But I do custom interior fabrication for others. You can check my blog or check here for a build I'm doing for a customer. He pretty much wanted my exact gauge setup, only with white gauges. So I'm building it like mine, but with a couple differences..... like the fuel gauge location. I'm also having to install all of his gear in the glove box..... he's got controllers out the wazzu. I'm also installing his DCC and some other stuff. I hope to be done here in a couple weeks or so.

Broadfield ...sir.........you do marvelous work. I saw where you put the fuel gage on your blog page for someone who wanted your exact same set up, and I actually like that location better than your original location. Dont take this as negative feed back its actually opposite of that. I am working on doing a similar set up and would prefer for you to complete it lol. what would you charge for the work you did for the gages and basically the dash set up? Any chance you can do a write up for the DCC DIY, considering the ones out there are not as clear as your work.

No need to worry about whether I think it's negative feedback or not. Keep in mind, it's all my work. It was my idea to put the fuel gauge where it is in my car, and my idea where to put it in Daoud's car. I like it better where I put it in his too! That's why I put it there ;). I built mine a little over 3 years ago, so I'm always going to have better/different/improved ideas on the original design. I have customers that want the exact same thing, and others that want something completely different..... but still want some form of cluster fabricated by me. I actually prefer to do something different than what I personally have. It's all custom, so it's made to order!

Please email me at: [email protected] if you want to discuss pricing, options etc.

Thanks,

Toby

I was going through the over 600 pics you have on Fotki and I was wondering where did you get the red bolts for your valve cover? thanks

Wow very nice! Oh, by the way, on the build for Daoud that you are doing you swapped out the LED in the DCC from blue to white and then soldered something to one of the ends? Why switch to white? Do you have a pic of the difference? can you tell us what you used as the replacement bulb? Thanks
