Mods Galore To Tangerine Dream

takevin · October 12, 2008

So been meaning to post pics of some new mods i've done. I had a guy at a upholstery for cars/boats make a steering wheel cover using marine orange and black vinyl. Didnt even charge since he never did one before, this one is version 2. Also the door skins which were all grey are now a combination of black and grey with orange inserts that i made. Orange vinyl covers for the instrument panel, repainted the needles a fluorescent white. Led tailights for the outside. Just got the aeroforce gauges with a big thank you Trey/C & A s Dad for the reccomendation. You guys really to check these gauges out. They plug into your diagnostic port and scans, clears and has ton of selections for your vehicle. Next step is getting custom leather black/orange seating.

I like everything but the tailgate. Too busy for my tastes...I'd take everything off except the lines around the handle.

But like I said, that's just me. It's YOUR truck!

Oh, and that steering wheel is saaaweet!

Same here. It's your truck so if you like it, that is all that matters.

It's a little more than I would like done to my truck but I like the fact that you are keeping the theme all the same.

You need to stop now while it still looks good! Sometimes less is more when it comes to mods.

Just my opinion (but that's what you get when you post here)

A little busy for my taste, but whatever.

I really like the orange back to the gauges, and the a-pillar gauges. The tails look a lot better than I expected too.

Not sure if I'm feeling the steering wheel cover, but the seats should look good.

'Orange' you glad you posted here so everyone could give their opinion?

Looking good, I finally get to see those aftermarket tails on an actual truck, looking good. I would've rather had someone remove the actual leatherwrap off the steering wheel, insted of adding another one on top of it. I like color coordination. Thumbs up for being diferent too.

I assume the guage faces were custom? Didn't think an orange set was available. It would be sweet if you could change the stock guage lighting from blue-green to orange.

You know how this group is. We even have some guys that are looking for black air to put in their tires and will only buy gas from a black pump.

I think the orange is cool. It's nice to see something different.

Thanks everyone, i love how it's going, bringing the outside in lol. Last step inside will be the black/orange seating to finish it out. That'll have to wait till next spring so i can save up for that. I've always been "different" and like to stand out from everyone else you can say . At some point ill swap out gauge, radio and a/c lighting in there too. Either you love it or not it all good. Im loving it. Im still working on the engine compartment in dressing it up so to speak, painting, chrome screws, hose coverings etc still a work in progress. Plan on entering a few local car/truck shows in the area. The gauges are just vinyl coverings to go over the oem ones, got them from a seller on ebay, all sorts of colors etc.

Its all good,thats why i said not for the faint of heart in topic part. As far as mods, im trying to win mod whore here lol. One other mod of sort, or protectant, was putting on the 3m vinyl on my headlights, front bumper and hood. Very easy to do if you follow the directions. Dont need to pay someone to do it if you take your time.

Looks good. I agree everyone has they're own style, mine happens to be "Chrome" I can't believe how big those tail lights are! Those LED taillights really show how big the light actually is!

I agree with Zembonez , you need to stop now!!
