Nice work man and great pics. Your skills are better then OEM and robots. I've been practicing for years and mine pretty much look like that but those pics make yours look pretty and smooth. The key is definitley not to overdue it on the solder or it looks messy. Hopefully this helps some people out and it will be easier explaining it to people now that there are pics.

bump for an awesome work, i too do the solder work, i mostly use my fingers with the PLcc's, and use tweezers for the resistors and a razor blade to hold them in place while i solder in one side. The 0805s i simply heat up the entire led and pull up with a tweezer, viola, they off. I have ordered many kits through jeremy, he is a great guy to work with.

You should've posted this for beginner long time ago......
I'm sure alot of people new to soldering were frustrated...
You should get your self a SMD soldering iron.... it's like big giant tweezer with two soldering iron..
This will make your life so much easier...

How common/how much of a danger is letting the solder from one side of the led flow over into the solder on the other side? like..bridging the connection? has this ever happened?
I have a friend who is certified in electronics circuit..board..stuff...(he's got some qaulification I cant recall the name) but I was afraid to let him get near my car buy this looks relatively simple, just takes skill.
