That's pretty much the interior color scheme I want to go with for LED's. Looks great!

I had the gauges and all the misc. parts removed, sent them to Rob, he returned them modded, and then chad Randy put them all back together. My car was not being used the entire time the leds were being worked on.

What do you daily drive? Your car only has 30k miles so I would safely assume you don't take her out of your beautiful garage that often.

I just hit 55k and I feel like my car is being abused.

This is my daily driver. I only work 10 miles away, so 20 miles a day x 5 days a week x 52 weeks / year = 5,200 x 5 years = 26,000 + additional weekend miles = over 30,000 miles.

If we go on long road trips, we'll take my wife's civic, but we haven't gone in a road trip in over 1.5 years cuz of our 9 month old son.

I'm just careful I guess, plus I don't eat in the car.

I guess that is the advantage for working so damn close to home. The drives back and forth from Ft. Hood to Houston every weekend put some damage on my meter. I'm really looking forward to moving back home.

How do you clean your suede interior? Do you just use the lint roller to get all the excess stuff off? And did you just drive around with no gauges to and from work?

Sorry for all the silly questions, just curious on how you do all this. I was looking to change the lights in my gauges as well, but from looking at various threads of people who did this, their cars were down for a few days while they completed their projects.

I have a lint mitt for the suede and I didn't drive the g while the leds were being worked on. I drove my wife's civic.
