    Default Winter Farkle Time!

    Had a chance to do a little Farkleing!

    Have to thank Deanna777 for the inspiration for Farkle #1
    Painted my Dashboard Bezel




    Had a chance to put on my Spyderpops Stainless Grilles & KOTT Grilles











    I'd also like to give a shoutout and to Finless Bob for his video on replacing the Spyder Speakers, probably saved me a week!

    And this little gem is a pic of just how far you have to go to replace the saddlebag cargo module, I don't recommend this!!! (rear speaker not part of this tear down)

    ....Since you have used this Paint and seen it close up and personal , do you agree that it is EXTREMELY close to the OEM Cognac color.........The only thing I did different was to keep the area directly around the instrument cluster FLAT BLACK, to prevent any glare possibilities..........I found this paint awhile back and used it on my RSS ( after buffing the shine out ).....I then convinced DEE that with a few coats of CLEAR in would deepin the shine effect............I think it really makes the Dash surround POP..................Nice job.........Mike

    The color match is spot on! At $15 a can how can you go wrong!
    I thought about leaving the part closest to the gauges black as well, after the first couple coats.
    I like the look I have though and if glare becomes a problem it will be an easy enough fix.
