2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

        A little time consuming, but not hard.

            Not much work at all.
            Shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes your first time to get the dash out.

                No, you just remove a couple screws, unclip the defrost button, hazard switch, CC switch, etc.

                    It's already black, no need to go through the trouble for the same color.
                    Unless you're planning on polishing it or something.

                    I'd color match it with your car's paint color.
                    Or do some funky grafitti type design.
                    Be creative, you have to look at it everytime you're in the car.

                          ya 30 mins sounds about right. Your first time it takes forever but the second its a breeze.
