    id say that it might work but youd need real thin flakes. glitter would be to thick. it would jsut rub off . definatly try it out on something else first..

    i heard, if you use construction paper and white elmers glue, you get the best results.

    macaroni painted red looks awesome on the dash too.. you can make cool designs and write "powered by pasta" and stuff.

    Wouldn't bother me as much if EVERY time he posts something it didn't take a shot at someone. I've had a VERY bad day.. sorry guys.

    Yeah, just don't make your dash all glossy and shiney, or you will blind yourself when driving on a sunny day.

    do yourself a favor and grow a thick skin. Joel's a nice guy but he has a tendancy to be an ass...and doesn't care what anyone else thinks. he's bound to piss you off at some point...he's good at it...though i don't think the forum would be the same without him. just listen to Eric and get used to it, or ignore him <img src="http://vvti.net/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Smile" />

    Not when people jump me for trying to defend someone. Just because someone is being a jerk &quot;joking, being an ass, sarcastic&quot; or whatever you want to call it. I've been around this site for a long time now, just because I just joined may make new a newb. But I am ANYTHING but a newb to sites like this and cars. If you aren't willing to tell someone to tone it down a little then that's fine. You will come to find out that I am the kind of person that will tell people when they step out of line. I know a lot of people aren't willing to say anything. It just really bothers me when people make smart ass remarks about stuff instead of actually making a genuine attempt to answer the question. No, I'm not talking about throwing some humour in. Trust me I'm all for that kind of stuff. But when you start making fun of peoples questions and being a smart ass that's just taking it a little too far.

    Who are you trying to defend? And if you have problems with someone on an internet message board, and you ACTUALLY let it get to you THAT MUCH, you have issues.

    Yeah, you may have been here since June, but you only have 38 posts, so you couldnt have really contributed THAT much to the board....a lot of us have been on these boards for 5+ years, and joel is one of em. So chill out, and lets not be a hypocrite and make comments like you did about the "echo" in here....thats exactly the kind of post that you were complaining about.
