It's HD. It takes time for YT to render the upload.

I like the white face gauges..even tho I doubt they'd fit my Black out theme. I want to pull my gauges and repaint my needles a sharper blue, not so much sea-green. Wish there was a way to redo the info center the same way

blue needles would look good. I went with an orangish red to match my autometer phantom guages.

I think the white guages look GREAT on a blacked out car...livens up the interior alot, but to each thier own.

Hahahaha...you can hear 3rd gear chirp the tires at the 75mph shift on the video...everyone always calls BS on my auto trans doing that...not anymore lol

Good stuff.

Saturn's Long Braces & Rear Diff Brace getting Installed next saturday

Have a temple bumper, like new halogen headlight housings, and a sleepy valley ground effects (not sure what i'm doing with that yet) laying around for when its time to paint.

Need to fix the rear neon and the blend door, will probably do that this winter, pull the dash, install the pedals, relocate the ecm and hopefully the battery to the trunk. Lots of work left..but slowly been trying to build it to my tastes.
