Well I'd love to do it myself, Because I like doing everything myself. But my back has been acting up a whole lot from a car wreck I had a few years back. To the point where I have to walk with a cane. Which doesn't do a 25 yr old any justice. So I think I'd rather pay someone to do this one.

most stereo shops that have custom installers can do the prep work on the consoles and then you just take it to a good paint shop for the paint and clear coats.

The best result I have seen was from a stereo shop. They sanded it smooth and then gel coated it then applied the paint and several layers of a clear coat. The dash was flawless.

Dealership is probly the worst place to go. Try some of the shops that paint old muscle cars or classics.

Thanx man. I actually have an Auto Tranny. But I ran across a thread today of some people putting the MOMO shifter w/the boots. Don't know if I like it yet. But I love the shifter. Just don't know if I wanna pay 100 bucks for it.
