ouch...
Same problem here. The shift-boot wasn't my size either, had to cut the ends of it off <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.

Me personally, Im all about style. (thats what i love about the 240 <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> ) as long as you back it up with performance.
If it looks good without being cheap or tacky looking, then do it.
BlueSix, i think what you did with the gtr badge looks pretty #### cool! Although i would DEFINATELY swap it for a nissan badge. Also i would turn it 90 degrees so that it reads straight across. But i think it looks great!
The neon on the doors looks a little much, but you said the pictures make it look brighter than it is.
Also, how did you do that to your gauges. They look really nice. A friend of mine has been trying to figure out how to do that for awhile now, and no one seems to know.
I agree with you it is a little border line ricey, but it looks good. You've also put some money into performance and suspension mods which proves that your not all about the appearance of you car. I wouldn't go much further with the interior, but i give a thumbs up!

took the word right out of my mouth
i guess that im slacking on reading the new threads
aahhhwell!!

[mike95s14]

I saw the video file and pics, honestly I like it a lot. &nbsp;I really like driving my car at night, cause that's when my interior looks the best. &nbsp;And I only have the $600 deph pioneer cd player, with those graphics. &nbsp;I had it for almost a year now, and I haven't gotten tired of it one bit. &nbsp;I really like your guages too. &nbsp;Ever thought about those neon pedals you can see for sale on ebay? &nbsp;Neon in the interior is cool, but I'm not a fan for it on the outside.

[BlueSix]

Yeah I saw em but didn't like em I got some anodised blue ones instead... Thanks a lot for the compliments..

I've only got an Injen Intake and a GReddy catback. Some wires and plugs and that's all. I'll just do some touch-up on the paint chips I have now, and save money for a header and ECU and probalby do the same thing as you: paint and carbon fiber hood.

[240sxtreme]

hey bluesix, how exactly did you do your gauges??? &nbsp;I've wanted to do the same thing but red for a while now.

[BlueSix]

www.importintelligence.com

CarbonFiber Gauge Overlays
HyperWhite Gauge Cluster Bulbs
Intelliglow Blue Needle Kit

If anyone needs help installing these please let me know as I took pics of the entire install, and can add some hints on installing them that aren't in the instructions. &nbsp;Everything was super easy to install if you are just patient.

Again I got EVERYTHING for my gauges at www.importintelligence.com

Now, REALLY???

[S13Grl]

Oh, BlueSix... you're not that ricey at all. Maybe a grain, but that's it! (Only due to my distaste for neon)

[HippoSleek]

mmmm... you don't really want my opinion. &nbsp;I will say that if you are feeling apprehensive or defensive about what you've done...

[jdmdohc1 6]

come on, stop being politically correct. &nbsp;That interior is straight from the rice steamer, umm fresh steamed rice. &nbsp;Why do you have a push starter? &nbsp;Is it a race car? no, you just want to show off. &nbsp;Put in your key, push button, or put in your key, turn key, what's the difference! &nbsp;Just my $.02

[S13Grl]

[240sxtreme]

uh, making your car look nicer is not rice. &nbsp;rice is adding stickers and emblems, and electric turbo sounds, or a plastic/cardboard intercooler, big ass battle wings, big ass body kits(talking about the nonfunctional ones) &nbsp; now....about that GTR emblem.....sorry man, that's rice, but everything else isn't. &nbsp; Rice doesn't win car shows....but what he's doing with the interior(minus the gtr emblem) does....as long as you keep goin. &nbsp;go look at the car shows, and cars that win....who needs a playstation or dvd player in their car? &nbsp;is that rice? &nbsp;personally, I think his interior has the makings of a nice ride...now he needs custom leather/vinyl seats...minus the driver...cloth is the only way to go. &nbsp;Oh and when you add the passenger seat, don't forget to add the seat warmer....the ladies will appreciate it, especially when they have no clothes to keep warm!

[vancouvers14]

240sxtreme, neon lights do not win car shows. &nbsp;sorry but your car is rice. &nbsp;GTR has got to go. &nbsp;If you like the lights, keep em, but theyre not my thing. &nbsp;can you post some exterior pics too? &nbsp;itll give us a better impression of your car overall

[jdmdohc1 6]

post some 1/4 times, that might be interesting to see how well a 240 carries 50 lbs of rice!

lol, I've maybe added 2 pounds of weight to my car with all the interior work... &nbsp; The only heavy thing I have is my sub box... Or do you consider a nice stereo rice too?

It's more fun and makes me enjoy my car more.

Hey 240SXtreme I do have custom seats I put pics in another thread but I guess you might not have seen em or known that they were mine...

I think these guys are givin you a lot of crap for nothing. The interior? Totally phat. I can see some people not being into the gtr badge and the push starter, but ####, you put some work into that car with the twotone color scheme.

50 lbs of rice??? Where do you get that??

[vancouvers14]

the interior looks great. &nbsp;but it would all look better without the gtr and the neon.

[BlueSix]

well, when the neon is off, you can't tell at all that there is any neon in the car, it's not like I stuck a 15 inch tube to the a pillars, like I've seen some people do.. It's turned on and off by a switch where my power mirror controls used to be (relocated to the center console storage area) right next to the button that opens my garage door =P

[whateverjames]

and besides, didn't you say that you really can't see it from outside of the car? i don't see what's so ricey when other people can't see it when they don't look for it. i bet the blue looks cool reflecting off the white part of the seats.

[HippoSleek]

&quot;I can't tell you what it is, but I know it when I see it.&quot; &nbsp;Okay, the Supreme Court was talking about pornography, but I think it fits rice too.

It is a subjective standard. &nbsp;One person's rice is another person's nice. &nbsp;Just like one person's Skinamax is another person's... well, no reason to go into my knowledge of hardcore porn... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

Anyway, point is that what you find cool might be hideous to some of us - it's just a question of taste. &nbsp;Similarly, it might give someone else an idea to make their car more like their dream ride. &nbsp;To each his or her own. &nbsp;My rice threshold may be WAY lower than some others - but hey - it's nothing but an opinion either way. &nbsp;In other words, like I meant earlier - if it makes you happy and you don't think its rice, that's all that matters.

How's that for PC? &nbsp;Geez, I outta be a lawyer or something <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[240sxtreme]

the whole neon thing I think is a very thin edged line....I agree that neon cupholders and glow in the dark wheels/badges/etc...is rice, but I think what you've done is not too much. &nbsp; Seats look nice...you got the seat warmer right <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

[mike95s14]

I need to learn how to take off the dash to begin with. &nbsp;As soon as I learn that, I would love to do what he did. &nbsp;I have a faulty guage cluster anyways. &nbsp;Anyone know how I should begin to take the dash off of a 95 240sx.

[NoLimitZ31]

Well the way I see it is...
You have something other than just a CAI, strut tower brace, and coffee can. &nbsp;An ECU is an expensive upgrade and we all know that ricers don't spend that kind of money on performance upgrades (ones you can't see). &nbsp;Also, you have some nice suspension mods to boot. &nbsp;Your car isn't rice at all...


Except for the GTR emblem.

[msilvia]

Litmus test for rice: &nbsp;Are the emblems which you are flaunting going on the car (at the proper trim level) to which they belong? &nbsp;No? &nbsp;Then they're rice.

Question two: &nbsp;Did you then take those ricey emblems for a car you don't drive and then enshrine them in a lit case? &nbsp;Hooooly shit rice. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

IMO GT-R emblems, silvia emblems, Type R emblems, whatever, belong on the cars they were made for. &nbsp;I don't care if you even have a GT-R engine in your 240, unless it's a Gt-R, it doesn't need the badge. &nbsp;

The neon is ricey too, I think, in the sense of ricey being &quot;tasteless&quot;. &nbsp;Here's another litmus test, although this one admitedly restricts creativity: &nbsp;Could you picture that kind of modification on a more upscale car? &nbsp;You never see Ferraris with neon strips. &nbsp;It does look a lot more subdued in the video, but I still think it's too much. &nbsp;Neon doesn't belong on a car. &nbsp;Too ghetto.

I like the guages, I think. &nbsp;The idea of blue needles is cool, but it's hard to tell how bright they actually are. &nbsp;In the pictures they seem to be lighting up the whole guage cluster in a bluish hue, which is too much for me. &nbsp;But in the video they don't seem to be shedding light on anything else, just glowing blue, which is cool. &nbsp;Which do they actually do in person? &nbsp;Seems pretty cool.

I don't get why you'd want to make the panel for the gauge cluster white, but that's just personal preference.

Well, you asked, so that's what I think. &nbsp;

In the end, though, to each his own.

[msilvia]

Just saw the interior pics now. &nbsp;What you did w/ the b/w color scheme and the seats is pretty cool. &nbsp;I like that.

Lose the pep boys style steering wheel cover, tho! &nbsp;If you've done so much other expensive stuff to the car, why not get a custom wheel? &nbsp;Or have your current one leather wrapped again? &nbsp;Whatever it's present state is must be better than the cover you've got on it.

BTW, is that an empeg you've got playing in the video? &nbsp;If so, I'm #### jealous! &nbsp;

Ok, i resent that remark. I personally have a steering wheel cover very much like his, and I don't have it for looks. It's just plain comfortable. (and GREAT in the winter)
