Ditto that, pretty cool effect. Would be nice have it wrinkle finished like the restof the plastic or smooth the plastic near the shifter to keep it the same feel / style.

Good job.

I have been wanting to dod this also. What did yuo have to do to get the AC controls moved down? I looked one time and it looked like you had to extend wires and just about rip the dash apart or at least the glove box area. Looks real good by the way. And like someone else said "repaint with crinkle finish". Any help is always appreciated.

Nice job with that.

How do you find looking down at the shifter whenever you want to look at the gauges?

I'm going to be putting in some gauges soon and I'm not sure whether I want to put the gauges in that area or buy the bezel that Autometer makes to located them just below my factory gauges ('94 GT).

looks good. i second the question on how you did it. did you have to lengthen any of the rods or vac lines or was it just moving stuff up and down??

no lines had to be lenghtened. Only one vacuum line gave me a problem and it was a yellow one that went off to the left, i had to use a longer one instead.
