Did my first couple small mods to my 40th that I picked up a couple weeks ago.

1) Replaced the clutch helper spring with a softer spring. The engagement is noticably better.

2) Installed the GT-R start button. During the process I went ahead and painted the silver trim peice flat black. The fusion ultra flat camo paint is what I used and it happens to be a perfect color match to dash peice. It looks so much better than the "Target" circle within circle look.

Then I took it for a drive and finished off with a washing.

I will get pics up within a few days of the painted trim around the GT-R start button as I left my camera at the office.

^^ A good start, Srenity.

I had a nice drive to the beach and had a surf session.

The Leather Food cleaner I posted last night really refreshed the leather parts on my interior and it makes my Burnt Orange seats really pop!

I would really recommend it to anyone since it actually softens the leather and helps prevent premature cracking.

Back in the day I used to use a similar product on my Doc Martens and it kept them looking pretty good.

Just be sure to watch how much you use, the stuff is pretty sticky!

This looks great! I might want to try this and possibly some of the other random silver pieces.

Yeah after I got the finished product the first thing I though was what other pieces I might want to do in the future. I don't want to over do as I like having some of silver. I think maybe the mikey mouse shifter trim, and possibly the door handles.
