Radio/Climate control/clock - change display/button color
Well, thanks to Jason (soonerfan) for the help....I changed the color on my radio, climate control, and clock from the OEM green to a nice shade of blue.
I have a how-to (without text yet) on my cardomain page, page 14....
sorry about the poor photo...but here's what it pretty much looks like:

Check out the pics on my cardomain site.....
it's clear overhead projector film (cellophane is thinner i think). I tried colored cellophane but the color was weak. I colored the oh projector film with a blue sharpie (2 coats) to get that color. Also, it's not 12 pieces....the only place there is the "cellophane" is over the 2 LCD displays. The rest is blue sharpie coloring in the panels on the back and the back of the buttons.
You also have to take off the blue "condoms" on the LEDs on the circuit boards...else you will get a turquoise color not deep blue like I did.
Like I said, check my website...I didn't write it up yet, but there is a pictorial of me doing it. I think its on page 14 or 15....
