Default My LED Swap (56k No)

Just got my Cluster/Hvac controls back from Garage1217. Jeremy rocks, and his turnaround time was the same day... Kick ****!!.

I designed the idea to have a white (with inverted LCDs) out effect but anything that has "action"/is activated will glow purple. The pictures below do not do it justice as it was very hard to capture the lighting right. But I assure you these are 100% perfect, and I will be sending all of our cars to Garage1217.

Enjoy...

(Sorry for the bad angle... hard to get a camera straight in under the wheel)

First purple/ white I had done! Very original choice and looks HOT! Great customer to deal with. Ultra fast payment and very clear on what he wanted.

Wow, nice job. Let me ask though...what did you do about transportation while you sent all that out?

I'd love to do that, but would be carless!

You can drive your car when the items are not in it. Just not recommended as it feels very odd driving without gauges.. and if it is ice cold out, then no heater. For 2006 model cars I have a loaner program were I loan out a gauge cluster and hvac unit if you pay a deposite which makes it possible for people with daily drivers to complete the swap. Only problem is the loaners are usually on a 1-2 week backlog non stop.

This person chose rocket mail, overnighted the parts to me, I finished them that same day, and overnighted back the next day!

Sweet looking in purple man. Not to jack here, but its on-topic, Garage1217, you ever do a deep green? Is it possible? I have never seen it previewed on any LED sites so I do not know if its possible. But after seeing that nice purple my hopes are raised again!

hmm, not bad. If you can get them done THAT fast, i'd consider it. It must cost an arm and a leg for overnight shipping 2 ways though! otherwise, good deal!

He can get them done super fast.. it's just how long do you want to drive without the cluster/hvac.. for me.. I have a poor habit of not gaging my land speed, so I paid to have it next day both ways... Depending on where you're at, it could be 40-50$/trip. But worth it IMO...
