Midway parts is running special all the time for NICO users, so you better check with them. I think I paid $35 or somthing like that. I'll give you the part number tonight.
Post that part number for the Instrument panel clear cover if you would please, I need one very bad. Thanks man.

Awsome! That's a very expensive gift. Your car is one lucky vert.

Do you still have 4 lug? If so, SPL will drill the rotors for you?

Oh!! Didn't know that because you had 4 lug black Work wheels in recent pics, so I thought you still have 4-lug. Then what are your new rims? Very curious cuz they must be nice.

No, those Works are 5-lug.

My old 4-luggers (which can be seen on 240sxConvertible.com) were JDM 16x7/16x8 Racing Sparco.

For those of you doing reupholstery, look into a product called Mellohide.

Looks like leather, breathes like cloth... Foose and Coddington (and other hotrodders) use it a lot.

Way durable, and even experienced pro's can't tell it from leather without turning it over.

Sure, but does it have the leather smell?

Thanks for the info on mounting the back guards. I was wondering about the third "clip" hole on the rears... I was thinking I had to drill into the body to use that hole, which I assume is not the case if I use the proper hardware?

This is a plastic clip that you use for lower hole. You will see a small slot on the body and this goes there. No need to drill the body.

No flaming around here. Congrats on your new ride. Can I say not much upgrade or love for 240 vert anymore for a while? Anyway, I hope you and your family enjoy new ride. I bet you got a good deal on it. Post some pics...
