5th Round of Mods:
-Rear end wetsand job and some trunk work (didn't get completed pics)
-RGB Color Changing LED interior Complete retrofit.
As humble as we all know I'm often NOT, I'll point out that this is the first of it's kind ever recorded. Now. Humble time.
Clock First for testing:
Decided to get a new Gauge face designed and custom made for this, I modelled some of it of the 5th Gen SE Gauges. Piano Black:
There's a billion pictures of this, I'm only going to post a couple of the process up to this point.
This is very close to the finished product, I'm finishing the Audio unit now
I pulled the LED's out of the area around the LCD screen because I thought it was a bit too much. But here's some videos of some prelim testing. Aweful videos.

Yah tuning the GTR is not childs play, especially with that crazy automatic tranny they have.
Did you say you're doing a MAFS delete? That's going to make things easier at least.
And I'm surprised you haven't scooped a set of Cefiros yet dude, just need to hit up JDM ebay or find someone who is bi-lingual and can get stuff from there as a middle man at a reasonable rate.

Thanks for all the great comments guys! Nice to see some old faces wandering in here also 
My camera is out for repair (again), I'm trying not to post a video with a crappy cell phone mic
Soon come, though, hopefully. Have about a dozen things to button up first before it really starts rolling down the road.
================================
Very surprised that this actually came together and all works, considering the ridiculous wiring and customization involved in it (imagine 4 wires to every little LED on a tight-*** circuit board, all connected to each other, with resistors on every one, and all the buttons have to work, etc.
If it every breaks I'll give up. LMAO

Hand-dremeled/filed and engraved the clear screenm Put some DiNoc behind the clear screen,
Somehow, it actually turned out half decent. Peculiar, and not expected.
Sorry for cell phone pics again
