    I just started taking my interior out tonight, changing everything over to black. It's a long road ahead, i'm not looking forward to taking out the dash, but the heater core needs replaced while i'm in there anyway. Then it's all getting dynomat and new carpet...can't wait.

    I heard about Nakke from Hal before he sold it off to QA1, Spence H told us about them as well.... The re-did our brand new ones and it was night and day difference, great people to deal with, lots of insight!

    How about a progress thread? We all love pictures a lot more than walls of text. :D The board needs more progress threads. There was a time when every other thread was one, now not so much.
