Peace,

If you do it once a month by accident, then no. Your car's PCM will retard the timing accordingly to prevent detonation. But you will lose mpg and performance plus if you keep doing it on a daily basis you risk ruining your engine ahead of time. Never put different gas in a car that was not designed for it.
BTW, nice project!

Thanks  My car's speedo even says "Premeum Gas Only"  When I send in my cluster to be repaired (common problem) I'm gonna tell the guy to block that part off...

If you primered it before you painted..... it shouldent scratch off. Good luck with that.

I did that. The primer also scratches off
We tried like 7 times to paint it. Pratically all combinations, and it still scratched off 
We even washed it with peroxide, and still same result.

We're going to go to a hobby store and ask them how they'd paint it.

Tell me about it  And I haven't even gotten to doing anything with the bezel. I just removed the poorly designed cupholder (for panasonic dvd/cd-rw)

Yes, and we also then used peroxide to clean off the remnants.

In the last two pics a couple of wires appear(one red, wich I assumed it was "+", and a black one for the "-"). Judgeing from your reaction, I understand they have nothing to do with the screen "). I have a question about the slim slot load cd: can you load one of those small size cd's in it? Obviously I've never used a slot load before...

Oh those wires! The red one is an extention cord and the black one is for the power sander that I don't know what I'd do without. I wouldn't try to load one of those small cds in there, but really, I don't even know if my DVD drive works.. I still haven't gotten the adapter. Big008 disappeared from the face of the internet and directron has just shipped it out.
