New look for an old doggy door

Been modding away this summer and I am really happy with how my car has turned out. I started with a new exhaust which is similar to the setup ttrank used except I have smaller pipes. The evap canister is in the trunk. The front is a techno r fiberglass replica that i had modified to eliminate the front license plate holder, had the grill inserts painted black to match the grill, roof and mirrors, and then LED strips were built into the fins. Did the blue led conversion on the interior and that came out great everywhere but my heated seat switches which still are uncooperative.

The leds up front were a last minute decision and I have them wired to their own switch so I only use them on occasion and they are barely noticeable when turned off.

How long did it take you to do the blue LED conversion? I've only done my heated seats switches and Infiniti clock. I need to get around to doing to the rest. How much did it cost in total?

Your blacked-out items, interior lights, and exhaust look great! Kudos!

The inteior lights cost me only about $125 and that included buying a replacement passenger window switch because i fried the circuitboard on the original. I did it over the span of a month just working at it whenever I found time after work. If i had to guess I'd say 15 hours because the gauges took three trys to get them to where I was happy but I'm not exactly an electrical engineer. I used diy threads i found on the forum and 6mt.

They're pretty subtle, I could almost live with those. Ditto cremaster on the exhaust, very nicely done.
