I think the last owner had to take the entire dash out to do this. He seems to have had everything painted red, the door trim is red, the little wavy trim is all red, the, lots of exterior trim that should have been black is red, I don't even think my mirrors were red before he got his hands on it. The entire exterior was repainted this bright red over an original dark red, and such a crappy job was done that it is actually flaking off, you can see that I ran a screwdriver lightly across the front indent styling line in the front bumper and it stripped all of the paint off to reveal a strip of darker red. On second thought, I really wish I hadn't done that. On third thought, I realized that it would've come off on it's own at that rate.

And yes, that's my boost gauge. It's velcro'd to the top of the steering column. I need to redo it with marine epoxy or something, as it turns out, superglue sucks. Half the velcro is peeling up, and I can wipe the residue off the plastic with spit and my finger. Not exactly living up to supergl

*edit* Yes, the car came with an a-pillar gauge pod with non-functional a/f gauge and the boost gauge. It turned out not to be a nice pod that was integrated into a replacement trim piece, but instead some cheap plastic with adhesive holding it onto the stock trim piece which had holes cut into it for the lines. Ah shoot, I just remembered the other thing I needed to look for at the junkyard, one of those trim pieces.
I don't like a pillar pods, and that one was ugly and blocked my vision, plus it sucked. So I ripped it off and now I've got just got this holey trim piece.
