[snipescastle2]

looks really neat. cant wait to see them installed

is that finished product or is there some additional coats of something?

I bought the acrylic acetate sheet from "Precision Drums" out of New York. I asked them for two sheets of 12" x 24" and it cost me $65.00 with shipping, door to door. I spent another $50.00 having both pieces cut out by a local laser engraver.what you see pictured, is the final product, I used "Wood weld" contact adhesive to apply it to the parts. You have to lightly brush this adhesive to both parts and let them dry to the touch, (maybe 7 minutes) then apply them together, but be careful! Once it's on, it's on....no turning back. So, my total cost for this project came out to $155.00 in materials and labor ( $40 for a new Bezel, $65.00 for the wrap,$50.00 for the laser engraver) well worth the time and effort!
Have a good one!

Great job! nice to see it installed. If you don't mind sharing where did you find the shift indicator with over drive?

[Stickman]

I was gonna say there must be a drummer in the house ! Looks Good

[snipescastle2]

Thanks Guy's! (My Late Brother was the drummer of the family) any way's, I had to make my own Overdrive shift indicator, since there isn't one for Non tilt columns. I took the original shift indicator lens, traced the pattern onto a piece of clear Lexan, and then took an "Ididit" overdrive indicator and used a drop of super glue to attach the new indicator. That will work in the mean time, until somebody makes the correct piece.

here's a pic.... I didn't use the pointer, since I was using the factory indicator.

That would be cool as hell in Light baby blue and Pearl white in "Raymond" Whacha think can you do it?...

[snipescastle2]

well, yes it can be done, it would be cheaper if you did this, but I can do it......
the materials cost about $65.00 and depending on where you got the laser engraving done, that can add $50+ to the tab. Let me know if you want me to proceed.....

Hey Ben.. Is this a vinyl Application?.. Actually I would just be interested in just the Glove Box Door in the Pearl Blue and Pearl White... PM me the total Cost to do this... Thanks... This is the color of the Truck...

[snipescastle2]

So, you want a "Split/two-toned" glove box? I can look into that, probably have to buy two sheets of the acrylic acetate sheet, half the size I previously bought, might be even cheaper to do that... I'll see what it will run and get back to you.

[snipescastle2]

Ok, just wanted to show you how the colors are with varying light conditions.
Here are two pictures showing some of the blue and white colors they have.
I think the Charcoal color looks more Blue, but unless I got a sample to show otherwise, may just want to go with Blue/white mother of pearl, and the white pearl. let me know if either of these are acceptable...
Ben

[Elliot949]

No... Solis peal blue where you black is White where your silver is

[Elliot949]

The blue and white may work would pay to get a sample...

[Elliot949]

I'm afraid the blue will be too purple...

[snipescastle2]

I'll call them on Monday and see if they can send me a small piece of each...

Ben

[snipescastle2]

Dan,
I got the mother of pearl samples yesterday, here are a few pictures, but you really need to see these in person to judge for yourself.
Ben

the top piece is "Charcoal" must have moved the paper I had them sitting on as I snapped the pics.....sorry. the charcoal looks more blue in person, but you better be the judge of that.

[Elliot949]

PM sent to you...
