And here they are, the colors are a bit off in these pictures, I could probably get them closer to looking like they do in person if I screwed around with shutter speed and color but this is pretty close. The blues are deeper and the red is really really red in person. I can't wait to do the gauges after this. It really wasn't that hard, it just takes a lot of patience. For those who want to know, It took me 6 hours to complete this. Of course I practically had to do it twice because I soldered all the LED's in reverse polarity once. I also had to go out and buy all the supplies at radioshack first. I'm sure if I did it a second time around it would probably take 30 minutes to an hour to complete.

Ok so now I'm on to the Gauge Cluster. I think I have everything down that I need to get/do except one thing. How do you remove the gauge faces to put the vinyl behind it? I looked at the gauge cluster removal thread to see if I could figure it out by looking at the pics but I can't...

And shes done...I think it turned out pretty damn close to the photoshop template.
I got home from work at 4:30pm, started at ~5:30 and finished at 11:30pm. It took me forever to get the needles right. I suck at painting...
