Need help upgrading cockpit of 1999 cigarette
Ok, just purchased my first cigarette 1999 35tg. Have not been in the market of go fast for several years! I need your help in finding the best pricing and the right equipment to update my boat!
Here is a list of things I would like to do now! Please let me know your thoughts as to best fit and latest designs along with best place you feel that has what I am looking for! Price is very important considering I am doing a lot of high dollar options. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
1. Need new arched style throttles on one side and shifters on the other! Love the new style in the 2012. Chrome, red and black.
2. Would love in update the dash to carbon fiber gray look with all new style switches and gauges! This would include all panels to match. I am thinking gray or red fiber dash with black fiber gauges with red or chrome trim? Will the new switches plug into old wiring?
3. Need new grab handles and cup holders in red. Already purchased new metallica isotta steering wheel!
4. Want to have new logo'd cockpit carpet made in red! Not sure if the inlay carpet is worth the extra 750 verses the shaved logo for free option from snappincarpet .com
5. Need new compass!
6. Need a new plexiglass map holder as well!
In the winter I would consider the upholstery upgrade!
Would like to deal with one company but looking around prices vary greatly! Sorry for such a long post but appreciate your help! Thanks Chris

Hey buckeye welcome to the Cigarette family.
I'm going through a similar situation as you. Bought a 1995 Top Gun and slowly upgrading it as budget allows. You're best bet is Calling Phil at Lip-Ship, he can get you everything you need.

Also search through some of my old posts and you will see similar things as to what you are about to tackle now.
P.S. - you might want to also post in the Cig owners forum for more Cig specific responses and info...

I can help you on #2. In the process of redoing the dash on my Baja. Contact Steve at Innotech and he can redo all your panels in carbon and add all of the lettering as well. I got all my replacement Livorsi gauges from him. All the new gauges have a 4 pin connector on them so that would need to get wired in verse how they are currently which is probably on ring terminals. Thats how mine was at least. I'm doing red carbon, white lettering, and red ring livorsi gauges with white faces and polished bezzels.
