That actually doesn't look too bad. Do you have any close up pics?

I tried the paint thing and it didn't turn out as good as I had hoped but it isn't terrible.

I'll post a pic later this weekend.

I also took a small piece of wax paper and mounted it inside to get rid of some of the bright reflections that were coming through.

the picture was at night i will take a better one tommorow, it really looks good and the shade is really close to the buttons.

here is an update of using electrical tape (+33)
the three pices of +33 tape overlap I then took a razor and cut the last half off as you can see in the pics.

the wax paper in the back didn't shade the light enough so i used 3 layers of black sharpie colored scotch clear tape.

Moumtz 02-01-2006 12:15 AM

got mine, thank you!

carbonRX8 02-01-2006 12:19 AM

Im in. PM me and send me to rotary radio knob heaven.

Really. Im serious.

BoosTED 02-01-2006 12:26 AM

qzeek it doesn't look like the knob is sitting flush.

Is it pushed as far as it can go?

The tape looks good.

bascho 02-01-2006 07:49 AM

Got mine vIce.....looks like it belongs on the car from the factory. Thanks again for setting up this GB.

qzeek 02-01-2006 08:19 AM

I just pushed it on I thought thats how it is?
I'll go check to see if it goes down more.
I didn't want to break anything by shoving it.

bascho 02-01-2006 08:44 AM

The install is the same as the removal.....you have to wiggle a little to get it to move along the shaft. The top of the base should be flush with the panel.

crisis 02-01-2006 08:45 AM

Received my yesterday, looks great. I haven't decided if I'm going to paint it before I put in on though.

fooey 02-01-2006 09:35 AM

got mine monday
thanks for the great product and service

English 02-01-2006 10:01 AM

Got it...gonna tape it and dim it and put it on soon!!!!

delrmx01 02-01-2006 10:14 AM

Got mine last night--thanks again vice for setting this up. Took no less than a minute, Bascho's right--looks like it came from the factory. Well worth the $$$ --it's a great mod !

avg8 02-01-2006 10:41 AM

Thanks Dan...will await your PM when they come in...I am definitely in for the next one!!!

qzeek 02-01-2006 01:10 PM

**Warning**

If you do tape it like I did, once it is all the way on it will be slightly tighter fit. Very slightly. Not enough to hender its push on and off function, and just tight enough to were you can't feel the click volume up and down.
If someone didn't know better they would't notice it.

Just want to make sure everyone knows this because once its on it will be A PITA to get off if you don't approve it.

BTW once i pushed it all the way on it looks great the color of the tape and the buttons is near perfect.

Shinka_518 02-01-2006 01:44 PM

Got mine installed...I gotta say that I like the way it looks already. It actually brings out the silver trim that I hardly noticed before. Now, I have to keep my daughter from touching the knob. It has to stay str8 up!!! LOL!

portero23 02-01-2006 03:41 PM

I've just received mine. I can't wait to put it on!

I got mine today.
Thanks vIce^gRip

damnyankee 02-01-2006 04:37 PM

my digicam is on the fritz or I'd take a pic but man that knob looks slick.
I won't be painting or anodizing or taping I like it just the way it is.
I like the faux C/F background too. And I like the way you can't see the 'rx-8' logo from the side.

it's nice jewelry for the car. and the knee pad rocks too.

thanks for doing this.
