Great seller. i haven't heard of anything negative about him.
i bought couple items from him.
I would trust him with my stuff. Many people on here can vouch for him.

I have been doing the swaps since right after the tC came out. I also sell the leds for $0.50 each. But a few warnings (I wont sell pink or purple).

1) There are no "true" pink leds. The ones you buy will fade over time in color. so be ware of that. Purples are typically UV and are BAD for your eyes.. so I dont sell them either. The better way to get pink is to use white leds and pink film, on the backs of the faces.

2) WATCH ebay carefully. There is a guy selling leds for WAY too much and claims he is the cheapest with the best leds. He also claims that with his, you dont need to do the HVAC mod I created (and everyone uses) to use white, green blue on the HVAC. That is 100% BS and he is ripping people off. They will come out dim.

For ordering parts for this, I recommend myself, trung, alan, jeremey and ledmod.com.

Shipping the parts off to have the work done is very common. As a matter of fact, I have 3 coming next week and about 5 more in line

I got some of those in from a customer that purchased from him / her whatever from ebay without the resistor / ic mod. He had me do the upgrade and the leds were many times more dim that the ones we commonly use. And without the upgrade, you could not even tell they were on. Also, those leds were easy to spot, they have black around the lens, rather than just looking all white.

What is even worse is that his prices are ridiculously high I think one customer of mine paid 20 bucks or so, plus shipping, JUST for the leds to do a cluster (about $7.00 worth of leds) and the seller acts like it is a steal
