is anyone going to do this? i figured i would. and he's looking for a place so anyone have a suggestion? i live over by ucf so anywhere in that area would be good for me at least.

the price kinda sucks, but its not THAT bad. import intelligence needle kits are more than he's charging for the needles, and the lcd for 60 is worth it.

i donno, any comments?

sounds like he replaces all the stock amber LEDs w/new blue LED's. I noticed that the blue LED's are expensive on their own (anywhere from $2.50 - 5.00 a piece!!!). But many other colors (ie. green, red) can be bought at about $.25 a piece. I'm trying to track down some blue LED's and when I have time, I'ma guinea pig my own dashboard and do it myself. I'll let you guys know how it goes... At least his offers include install.

didnt use leds..

just some neon wires that i wired up behind the console & autometer fuel gauge..

import intelligence needle kit for the needles & gas/temp display...

and some transparent blue paper for the clock..

aftermarket headunit that has blue lights behind the buttons..

and all thas left is the cig lighter...anyone?

thats why skunk killer's deal is worth it. to do the import intellegence on both the needles and gas/temp, its just over 100 bucks. and thats you doing the install. and the lcd won't be that great. it'd be 110 for him to do this and it'd be nice and bright.

the center console can be done w/ other stuff but his is damn bright. same with the clock. you can use a blue filter but it'll be dim as hell.

also i think he does the two leds for the AC and the rear defrost. that'd be nice to have in blue too. and the cig lighter. those are a little harder to do on your own.

so anyways, who's in and where should we do it?

Skunk, I just e-mailed you. For those interested, if you guys want to have a single meeting place, I would be glad to share my place for a day to get everything done, there should be plenty of room for parking and we also have a covered area in case it rains. Let me know.

Ok skunk, that's totally cool with me. I need an exact date and time from you. Are you flying or driving? I can get you directions from the airport, just let me know. Also, unfortunately I don't have an extra bedroom and I have two other roomates and no spare beds. The couch is open if you need a place to crash.
Also, to those others interested let me know where you're coming from and I'll give you directions. If you want to look it up on mapquest, e-mail or PM me and I'll send you my address.

Any updates on his whereabouts? Tell him that I e-mailed him if he has a way of checking his mail if you see him PLEASE. There are a few of us who want him to stop off in eastern PA (along I-95) after he makes his stop on the way back up in VA. Maybe he has a cell phone #? If he does can someone get it for me?
Thanks..

Hey, He left my place late last night as he got stuck in some traffic and he had to do two conversions. He is on his way to Miami at this time and I think he's going to Houston after that. He has no cell phone or means of contact unfortunately. I would e-mail him regardless because he might be able to check his e-mail.
