Heh I didn't lose it just... How can I put this... Changed my finger print, lol. I posted under the tC forums about 'Big 3'. You can't even really tell where I cut myself anymore I super glued it shut. Just as a word of advice, when crimping a wire make sure you finger isn't in the stripper area. Aparently a thumb bleeds ALOT.

Got the turbo coming in on friday so depending on when I get that bad boy put in i'll text you. Do you want my old orange LEDs?

Yeah I saw that pic you posted....

Well like I said, just let me know when you wanna stop by and we will get everything fixed for you...

I don't really have a need for the orange ones to be honest, don't really know what I would do with them...

I gotcha, I would do it for free or even cheaper but right now I am out of work, so I figured it would be a good way to make a lil money...But I am doing some repair work for HIX whenever he gets his car back together, and I'm not charging him for that, it's just possibly a bad connection on one of the LEDs, and then he needs someone to remove the HVAC LCD so that he can switch the LEDs behind it...

I'm here whenever you need it, just let me know...Hopefully I will be doing a pair of xA's(Husband and wife) here pretty soon...

And you have a great point there...If you want further details PM me and maybe we can get it done sooner than you thought...

Here's the first of the twin xA's I am doing...It's a Pink and White setup, and I even made the needle light all the way across rather than just the tip...The LCD screen is pink as well, it's just super bright and the pic was taken with a cell phone, so of course it will look 10x better in person...
