ns87 Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 how does the two tone pad look? My car is light grey interior, but I have a graphite headliner and I figured the speaker grills/glove box tied them together. PS, I can't get the defroster bolts in. Any tips? Either way, its better than this :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I just left my defroster bolts out probably should fix that one of these days if i get the motivation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Rockstar Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Looks good, though I would rather have the graphite glove box door.. ..But 2 tone looks great w/ these colors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 put the graphite door back on and at would look good. I always need like 3 feet of extensions to put those bolts in. if you are dropping it, I always hold the bolt to the socket with my pinky... if you have to, use black electrical tape to hold the bolt to the socket, if it stays with the bolt, you won't see it..

ns87 Posted March 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I just left my defroster bolts out probably should fix that one of these days if i get the motivation Didn't you notice the dashpad is tilted and covering the top of your gauge cluster? Thats my motivation. Ken: I have extentions that reach, but I can't seem to push the pad down enough and then screw the bolts in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken: I have extentions that reach, but I can't seem to push the pad down enough and then screw the bolts in oh... YOU LUGNUT!!!! you don't have a problem getting the screws in, you have a problem getting the dash in straight! The dash has guide pins, the dash must be pushed down and then pushed back the last 1/2-3/4 of an inch. But I see you have an aftermarket radio. you probably have an interference issue between the radio, or it's wiring, and the dash. try removing the radio and reinstalling it after the dash is properly installed.

ns87 Posted March 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 aha! God, I hate that radio lol. Worst $40 I ever spent. Alright, well I'll try it in the next few weeks since I'm lazy. Thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkton Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Haha, that looks exactly like mine, even with the window defroster all fscked up. The only difference dash is all discolored from sitting in the sun . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 that looks pretty nice with the two-tone. I like the lighter glove box door too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns87 Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Thanks a lot guys. Without this site, I probably would have sold the car years ago. No one around me is really interested in a Cutlass Supreme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns87 Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 bumpity bump. I put the graphite glove box back and put in a new headunit (also graphite!) The flash at night really makes it look worse, but it looks pretty awesome in the daylight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 You went from a shitty Sony to a half-decent Sony. Brilliant! Looks nice, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOHCRagtopguy Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 So that's what a nice dashpad looks like! I could use one. Much better with the Graphite glovebox door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns87 Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 You went from a shitty Sony to a half-decent Sony. Brilliant! Looks nice, man. haha. I would have stuck with my shitty Sony, but: it kept giving me ERROR on cd's it kept over heating and then giving me ERROR until it cooled down the radio tuner DID NOT WORK (so every station was 87.9 no matter what I tuned to) So on several long trips, I had bouts of silence with all of the above. It was an xmas present, and I didn't want to break my parents wallets. I like how both of them show the song name on regular audio cds if you burn them right! I really wish cd players fit better in that stupid hole. I am amazed that the opening is too tall and the depth is too short to fit a normal cd player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 I flush mounted the deck in my Lumina...it really isn't supposed to fit..but with enough force I managed to get it to fit flush and look the look. Cutty's must have even less room! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns87 Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 It comes so close, but the upper left corner sticks out toward the driver an extra inch and a half for some reason. If I chopped that off, it would be all good. no cutting for me though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 that looks pretty nice with the two-tone. I like the lighter glove box door too ^^^^ that's funny....this first thing I thought today when looking at the pics, was "he should have used the darker glove box door: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ns87 Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I know it looks grandmaish, but I love how ribbed it is. It is SOOO easy to hold on to Oh yeah for what its worth: in the beginning I talked about how I couldn't bolt the dash down. Thanks to Ken's instructions, I got that squared away a couple weeks after installing the dash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i added hud last year i ran into that problem also and the way i knew is i could not see the black on the bottom of the window because the dash sits on top of the guide pins. lolol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
