whats up everyone, i am redoing my dash and its coming out pretty clean and neat. the only thing bugging me is the turn signals. their suppose to be black but look old and grey. do anyone else's look like this, if so what can i clean them with?

i dont know if its the same but when i had my s13 it was like all greyish.. if i took my fingernail i could actually scratch off that white greyish residue. so what i did was just take it off and take 2000 grit sand paper and sanded it off. looked good as new =). better than spraying them black.

the turn signals

What are you talking about: combo light switch/turn signal stalk, flasher relay, turn signal assembly in bumper and rear taillights?

^^^ im pretty sure he's talking about the stalks. just buy new ones if you want (remember someone doing that) although i'm not sure if they're still available thru the dealer.

They're about $80 from the local auto parts store as well.

"I know the right way to do it is like this, but I'd rather cut corners and half ass it because my mom cut my allowance this week for jacking off to her JC Penney catalog in the bathroom and I'm broke".
