Good job, etl. Looks pretty spiffy. Now, who makes your brake and gas pedals? I am about to upgrade my interior and they look like just the thing for my Proton. Thanks!

the pedals are actually APC (got em at advanced auto)... the brake petal was a royal PITA to attach, only 2 of 4 clips fit on at a time because the stock brake petal is so small, what i ended up doing is getting small pieces of steel to "extend" the brake petal so it reached, ill see if i can get some pics that show what i had to do

Looks nice.
So you bored out the knob, not the shifter shaft, ight?
What's with that climate control panel? That isnt stock... I like it.

Well...yes it is, the 00 & 01 models have climate control, just us "99'ers" have the "Flintstone" HVAC controls.Originally Posted by TEN36VX

yep climate control is stock for now (will be changing the color of the lights soon i hope)... and yea, i ended up drilling out the collar of the shift knob with a hand held drill at very low speeds to cut down on heat, drill press was just too powerful and kept throwing the collar out of the vice...i used a 9/16" drill bit in case anyone else ever needs to do similar
