Wow, that's a lot of work. Looks nice so far. I think you need to convert all the amber to complete it.

Looks great, one question though. How's your day time visibility with the white?

Thanks for everyone input.

I hadn't had time to go buy the Film to do the A/C panel above the clock.

one way is to buy a whole new acrylic piece and replace that one and put a film over it.

or

second way is to cut out the amber stock acrylic and place film over it.



I haven't been able to find where I can get the film, someone said Pep Boys. So I'm going to go check them out and if they do have it then I'll probably go with the 1st way and have custom fitted and filmed. =) (as skaline mentioned THANKS !!)

The daytime visibility is dim, but its still visible... its like the color of the fourms background that silverish white with a hint of blue (Background of where the post can be read, text section) if that helps =) hehe.. or i'll try to take pics and post them up =) but not sure how well they'll turn out or show up..

I'll get working on the A/C display above the clock and the 2 lighter hubs on either side and that should be it.

Thanks Everyone =)

looks good dude, the only way to change the odometer is that have to take the gauges apart, meaning you have to take the needles out to remove the face. But if you pull out the rods of the needles your gauges won't work anymore. haha that's what happened to me so i had to buy another cluster on ebay..

right behind the lcd screen on odometer there's an orange plastic film to make it orange. You have to replace that with a white slate. I just cut out a piece of paper to shape. works like a charm. heh

If you put a green or red led behind the stock orange in the odometer, the orange is overridden by the green or red light. I don't think any other color works. If you want another color like blue, you have to take out that orange film. Thanks again to accordfreak for taking all the lumps in figuring this thing out. It sure would be easier to do this if the needles came off. Sanding off the orange with the needles on was a major pain.
