figured i finally got a shot of it
Yes, still contemplating masking the letters and doing it a gloss black to match the rest of the car, but haven't had any time yet. It's not too shabby as grey for the moment, or at least i think so.
also a technical question for wiring gurus, this is from a 96 concorde. The keyless entry, locks, interiors, radio, mirrors, etc... stopped working one day
fuse 13 that controls them all and more is shorting out (blowing continuously in the off or on key position), anyone know how to track a short?
I'm just following wires still, almost back to the box

I think the cover looks awkward...... but whatever floats your boat... lol I had a problem with my wireing in my corolla.... my dash lights kept shorting... the only thing I can suggest is trying a bigger fuse....

Looks MUCH better painted black doens't look very glossy in the pics though. And personally i would've masked off the individual letters.

yeah the letters didn't get done yet due to no masking tape in sight, electical taped off the section to lay the base coats, i put about 3 coats on no clear coat or anything just yet.
also had some rain coming so didn't have the time to completely finish it the job.
Probably finish this up on Friday if the weather prevails

its a good temp fix, but the short is still there... so you run the risk of completely depleting your battery, since power can just freely flow (continuously) from power to ground.... you certainly don't want to leave it that way.
the cover looks ALOT better painted... and i'm in agreement with everyone else, finish masking off each letter and it'll look really sweet.

i agree, the first pic looked pretty gay...painted up, not too shabby at all. i'll have to look around and see what i can find for one, see if i can't mask up the alero symbol up above the 3400

I think I would always paint it to match the exterior. I think it would look good painted white in a white car.
Brim-looks awesome! When I saw the first pic I was like, well it looks okay, but I don't think I would do it. Then I saw it black and was like DAMN!
Question-how'd it fit/attatch?

you have to order the oil cap extension, the cover after that should align pretty easily, the design on seemed to catch in some areas and it's pretty fits pretty good
i've since masked the letters and filled it in
