Robert, that dash job looks terrific. For the steering wheel, what about black for the horizontal and yellow on the vertical to pick up the vertical yellow stripe on the dash?

I changed out the stock plugs on her car the other day. It was a two stage plug that was prone to breaking
so I wanted to do it early. She has 47k on it now.
I followed the TSB to the letter and even let the PB Blaster soak longer....well to make a long story short
I broke off 5 of the 8 plugs.
I used a Lisle Tool to extract the bottom half from the head and was successful on all but one.
I spent hours (20 min per try with the tool) trying to get it and I even got on my knees and prayed allot...
Well it finally caught and I was able to extract it.
Passanger side:
Drivers side:
Needless to say I replaced them with a single stage (wont break) plug.
I had to take breaks and wanted to get my mind off the good chance that I would have to pull the heads off the car so
I decided to trim the Shaker:
I relocated the SHaker badging to the back pass side...
I am dropping the cam covers off to be powder coated Yellow tomorrow or Friday. It usually takes them about a week.
I also swapped out her steering wheel spokes to polished piano black ones.
I had painted them yellow but it really took away from the dash.
Sorry for the crappy cell picture. I was kinda tired at the end of that day.
On a plus note...I got them all out and the shaker looks pretty good.
Here is what I had left after the trim job:
Mods: AIT Hood, Black EE's, Crab O3, 25% Tint all around, Matt Black Dipped Rims, LED's in Hood Scoops, Intake Resonator Delete, Blacked out Pontiac Darts, De-badge, Molded mud flaps, Flat Black grille surrounds, Flat Black window trim, GM logo Interior Re-Badge, Tinted Tail lights.
Future Mods: Flowmaster Super44, Matt Black Recessed Uppers, Matt Black Recessed Lowers (awaiting install), Eibach Drop, Interior LED's.
