UPDATE:
we need to impose a cut-off date to get on the list for this mod. we want to ensure that all the materials needed arrive on time.
as such, the last day to get on the list is:Sunday, April 9th
also, we'll be asking for your help during this install meet in the removal and re-installing of the main parts, that way Chris can focus on the soldering. (no worries, we'll show you how).

Yeah but the needles are acrylic and they'll transfer whatever color is underneath it to the needle ends. If its white it takes on that color. If its another color, it basically combines the two colors together (often you'll get a weird brown or something).

well you need Heat resistant paint... and having an exact color match doesnt work so well. i ordered exact color match paint NBM but i dont know how well it would hold up under heat. what color is your car?
Also i work this day 11-8... so... would you guys be so kind as to let me go first so long as i get their early? It would be great of you. also, blue - will you take paypal? I can just pay you now so i dont have to worry about having cash with me... i never carry it.

Ill bring my caon of color match paint for your nb... But look for chevy or ford blue. I used that on my calipers... That your best bet. I wonder if you can use color match paint and heat resist clear on it... - tony thanks for the offer but I'm having my z1 installed next friday and I'd rather not have the dash exposed if I don't have to... I would just need to be out of there by 10-1015. Thanks
that may work if you use enuff clear.

well ill bring the nb paint but it cost me 20 for the can so just dont use all of it... and youll need to buy high heat resistant clear coat... if anything happens we can always sand it and fix it...
Ill be there at 8
