hi guys, i was after this mod for a long time, i know only a few of you have done it, but nobody has post a DIY, so my slushbox got cracked and i took the oportunity to do the smg dome retrofit. the look its not 10/10 but it looks better than before, and im sure that with other knob and boot it will look better.
materials:
dremel
sandpaper
tape
time
patience
1. buy the smg dome with the ring, and get rid of the sMg badge, this will leave some tiny holes. with bondo or other kind of filler, fill them and with a low grit sandpaper (+-1500) work it and the whole dome for painting it.
2.this is where cutting begins. The fear about doing this mod has allways been the parking possition, and its true, without cutting some stuff, you cant reach the parking possition, so we have to check where the stick meets with the ring and cut an inch(1'') of it, the same amount will be cutted from the dome.
-put some tape to protect the ring from any possible damage with the dremell
3.the same has to be done in the dome, exactly how is here, and the work the shape with a sandpaper
3. this is how it looks in the P possition, we have to leave some space for the boot.
4.this is the finished product! i painted it flat black, and leave the sensitivity control, for a future mod, the ipod dock ( i know the knob looks like sh1t, will replace it) and tomorow a new custom boot will be created by mom:rofl:.
hope you guys like it, any questions fell free to leave a reply.
