Good effort. Oil temp gauge is tacky though where it is.

There should be a new group buy on our french Prelude forum, the layouts are in progress... my sills were made for a 4th gen but fit perfectly on 5th gen :mrgreen: an other template is for 3rd gen, I'll let you know when the GB could start. (for information I paid about 22£ shipped -to France obviously-)

About the oil temp gauge location, I never wanted to put it under the radio or in the dashboard above the clock for example. Too much brightness for me when driving by night, even with a dimmer. Moreover no one can't see anything when throwing a look inside !
I know I don't own a race car thus it is just here to let me know when I can go past 3000rpm ;)

The group buy is not started yet ! Drawings are not even done, the company that will do the laser cut job is not found yet... I'm afraid I'm not able to give you a price for now ;)

The best photo I could find from the former GB : http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/746/ ... rtego3.jpg

I will create a new topic when time will come !

I would definitely be interested in a pair for 5th gen when you do some for GB.

I did some work last weekend : against rust !
the only part that was really rusted :

I started with a nylon brush but it took too much time, so I used the grinder :lol:
Then I used some "rust killer" (Frameto) and then paint for ironworks, 2 layers :
the other parts were quiet clean thus I only sanded down a little, put some Frameto and paint again. I did not paint the part of the spare wheel tray which had a kind of rubbery mastic, seemed not necessary to me...
