Thanks for the lead, I'll go check it out.
Edit: I found the spoiler, not sure about the center support. Wonder if I could do it without it? Wouldn't want it to start flopping around, and my luck the wires for the 3rd brake light run up through it. One more item to add to the Xmas list!!!

Do you think you could take a pic of your whole dash from right in the middle, like between the two front seats? Also, what paint did you use and what kind of prepping and procedure?
Nice car.....Not to come down too hard, but your car would look much better with RRM's CF reflectors to replace those ugly amber ones, would match very nicely with the windows and wheels!
Great job on your car!!!!

Here's the dash, kinda dark though and a little blurry, sorry.
I use Plasti-kote paint from any car place. Pepboys... and I actually used the lightest color they had there, since they didn;t have the exact Mitsubishi color there. I used FM8132 which I think is a Ford color. I wouldn't use it on the outside for anything, but inside is fine since it's not up against your outside color. What I did was clean it real good first. Make sure it is dry. Didn't use a primer. Your first coat should be REALLY light, just a light mist across, then my second one was too. Then my third coat got a little heavier but not to much. Then just keep filling it with more coats. I maybe did 5 or 6 coats. Some people put a clear coat over it, but I didn't. It still has a little shine on it but I didn't want to put a clear coat on it and have a glare in it. I might put one on later just to protect it, but I like it for now.
