Doubt Post: Side Project-Windshield Wipers / Interior Update!

So when I'm bored I just take care of annoying ugly things on my car. Earlier it was the battery tray, now it's the windshield wipers...















There's really no need for a writeup... I think the picture gives anyone a good enough idea.















I like this de-wipered look...















Then onto the actual work... (Using the leftover BBQ Stove paint from the headlight project, and various sand paper grits... CLEAN AND SAND THEM GOOD! The paint didn't take too well originally)















Done!

Interior Update
I haven't mentioned much about my interior because I'm not too proud of it, it needs work, and I'm getting there ever so slowly.

First thing was first, I had to fix that "Knuckle Buster" shifter I had in the car. I brought a stock shift rod (which is not fun to install, I used a Short Throw Shifter installation guide to install it, but I can't drop the cat beacause it's welded to the B-Pipe and Y-Pipe!!!).



Anyways, a few days later I soldered some LEDs in the car (well only one switch, I got lazy/tired and took a looong nap).




And the next day, I finished the job... Kinda... I'm not gonna be doing the rear window switches, A. The LEDs are hard to find, B. They're hard to solder w/ my $8 radio shack kit, C. Not too many people sit in the back...
