Man GEC you SEXY BEAST where have you been.. LOL. You are the man bro.. Love your work. You still going to put suede up top? I really want to do this LED upgrade, but i would have to take it apart and send it piece by piece.. Is it still at the advertised price? If i do it in sections it will cost me more, i know this, so i might just send it overnight to you guys in one package instead. how long is the turn around. I would probably ship it off on a thursday, and get it back ??? Thanks for the updated info.. Looking great as usual,,, Later..

Alright LED project in process, I have a question (I know GEC is not sure on this) If I buy another guage cluster will my miles reflect what the new guages say or is it linked somewhere beyond the readout on the cluster itself? I am considering buying an extra one to send him for the upgrade, I am also buying a info center screen to get done, the rest will be orange but I think it will look good, different but good. Any info from anyone would help me out, thanks!!

By the way Kenny looking good!!! I'll PM you later with more details...

friendly critisim: in the first 2 pics of your gauges im seeing some hotspots... are you using LEDs in there? maybe its just the camera.

if you're happy then the results then dont worry about it

Mine is done (mixed up the colors a bit)....thanks GEC!!!

The hotspots on the gauges are not even like this in person (figured someone would comment!!)

I also got crazy with my new dremel tool (went waaay furthur than planned) and opened up the hole for the accent light in the upper center console. The entire armrest and drink holder shine a nice blue now!! You can see the armrest in the 1st pic.

I also bought an LED light rope (60 led's) and ran it along my new speaker box, Turned out pretty nice...

Not sure what it would void or what they can link it to to void any warranty. And for the record I bought extra parts (off a parted out max) so I can go back to stock if I wanted/needed to.
