I actually kinda like the clock...i wonder how it will look with only one row of cystals around the clock...I'm not a fan of bling but that looks really nice! great job!

No way you like,,cool man really cool thanks..cause I know its a stretch for you.....I think there are a many ways that it can be done..since you don't like to much bling maybe about 2-3mm spacing between rows or even use smaller crystals..The cool thing about this is if any one decides to do it themselves they can do whatevers and you know it will come out different...

that's not bad at all. Yah, the JP clocks are occasionally on YAJ, but it's pretty rare to see them.

^^ coo, did you have to use a dremel to drill out holes or did you just use the flat crystals with glue? You do real nice work, I like it!

Up date on clock bling

K fellas..I am painting my center console and had my clock out. So I decided to open it up and add some crystals. I also scraped the black paint around the bezel of the clock exposing the chrome underneath..now I think it has more of an elegance Rolex look..here are some pics

Off the car, two rows doesn't look crowded, but in the car it looks like two rows was too much... maybe

But the refracted light on the face looks so cool! Can't wait for night shots

Yup, I got 144 of em. I figured they would be a little more subtle in an all black Q! I'm gonna wait to find the right kind of adhesive before I put them in though.

They aren't completely Opaque, but they are MUCH darker than the usual crystals...not great pics, but you get an idea.

At first I really didn't like crystals (at least in my car) they make me think of pretty pretty princess. BUT, Garson is turning me on to the idea. I'm trying to think of unique and SUBTLE spots on the car they could be put. Any idea's?
