VERY illegal, but like you said, your not selling the car so what does it matter?  --  Posted By: 91_gta On: 12-02-2007 @ 21:40:47 Reply | Top | Edit lol that works??? Just rolling the numbers?? I have thought of that but i figured it wouldnt work. So when I find the dash I want all I got to do is roll the numbers?? sounds easy. --
