Uhm, I used a red cellophane and its red...?

WTF is that about

 

experiment with different colors i guess...

 

The color that I first used turned it pink, but I ended up getting some from somebody on the board that is more of a pink color that turned it a very slight blue (a white-ish blue).

 

I did my clock about two weeks ago with red cellophane from Party City and it came out fine.

 

i used a combo of red and purple and got a nice blue

 

Anyone have any spare Red Celophane hanging around I cant find any place around here selling it -

 

i have mnailed out tons of it to people.....just e-mail me at manualmaxima@aol.com and i will send you some out.

 

ok i mailed it out to all the people who requested it. Hope it works out well for you it worked great for me...

 

Hey man thanks SO much I appreciate it a lot!

I love you interior. Had did you manage to get to that little light around the key... thats great

Nice phone btw, i have the same one

 

I'm gonna have to try this when I put white LED's all over my dash

 

me too, i think white lookes better than red or blue, so to get the clock to go white, you have to use a red cover?

 

I guess so.. currently I have blue LED's in my dash but I'm tired of them. I wanna go all white.

 

hmm manual maxima you have anymore?

 

for the light aroubd the key i used a #74 led. ANT i have a ull led intior that i switched to blue, and the white screen looks awsome with the blue.
2da max e-mail me you address and i will send some out this week. My e-mail is above in my 1st post

 

Can I see pics??

I was leaning towards going all white including the climate control and getting white neon tubes for under the seats... and maybe, big maybe white neon kit under the car.

 

 

Anyone from Missouri that would be interested in helping me along doing this? Willing to pay

 

If you use cellophane, wouldn't lights get less brighter?

 

yes i just did this with my clock and auto climate. it looks good, but i might switch to leds. ****t it beats the green by a lot. btw lokobreed this **** is easy as hell. if you cant do this than you cant open the hood. no offense. just pull out the vents and unscrew the clock. then tape the cellaphane around the lcd

 

I just have never done anything like this...

Just pulling out the vents wont break anything?

Also what type of cellophane? red? And that will make it white?
-- -how long does it last for?


Is the bose system and AC harder to do?

 

You will destroy your vents, and its very difficult....


Dude, its easy everything will be ok, just read the how to's and FAQ's in the stickies

 

Yeah, just a bit...little hard to see in the day, cut the dimmer for at night time.

 

depends on how many layers of cellophane paper u put in it

 

Is there any other way to change the color to white without using red cellophane? Because if it makes the stuff less bright, im not sure if thats what I want?

What about in the day, is the white even visible?

 

I just did this friday. It is very easy to do. I cut the dimmer though. I thought it matched my new headunit (which has white text) with the headunit dimmed (you can change it to on/off/auto) and the clock not dimmed. I am going to have to take some pictures when I get my car clean.

I have a ton of it now though. 30" X 5' roll for $1.29 + tax.

Stop using cardomain to post pics. It doesn't work.

I would just make sure you get it as flush to the LCD screen as possible.

 

yeah i was planning on doing this, but i have BOSE, is it possible to change the bose, i dont really wanna have the clock and radio not match

 

What color cellophane do I use to get the white display? What do I use to get the blue display?

 

i used red or magenta and 2 purples for the blue

 

o for the white display just use red or magenta, then any other cellephane

 

Thanks, I'll look into it this Christmas weekend.

 

Can you change your bose too?
