winter projects...recarpeted, pedals, and a video

I replaced my speaker covers with aluminum mesh to complete the mesh theme throughout, painted some silver pieces black, installed aluminum pedals, and recarpeted the T/A in true black. Now the only remaining charcoal-colored items for the interior are the seats. Eventually they'll change as well. I also polished up the engine. New TB and TB plate coming soon, as well as polished radiator shroud.

Here's a vid of my car at idle and revving, as well.

White Pheonix--they're pedals from www.autovation.net ; classy company with a very high quality product. $90 in total, but I heard if you're a member of LS1tech they'll cut you a break. The stripes are only on the fenders and not the hood, as they're Grand Sport stripes from 96 corvettes. The video in my original post has the hood down and you get a walk around from one side of the car to other if you want a good view of the stripes. And yes all the interior pieces are painted black, there are a couple more pics on my cardomain in the sig.

Thanks for the compliments, fellas.

That mesh turned out really nice, and you're right, all you need is new seats!

Excuse me if it's not my place to say this, but there should be a sticky thread for everyone to post their winter projects. Seeing everyone's progress sure would warm up this boy's cold Ohio winter. Looks like i'll have to take all of the parts out from under my bed and take some photos...
