I did a two tone blue and white. I think it would look good with red and white as well.
This is what it looked like with stock faces.


And I know it's a bad pic, but here's one with some faces I got from BlackCats...
I'll take some better pics tonight.

I think the Red and White two-tone would look pretty cool. Really up to you though....it is your ride.

There are a few different guys on here that are more than capable of giving you what you need, but I prefer to go with Garage1217, he has never messed up any of my orders and he never fails to help me when I need it...


No offense, but I don't really care too much for LEDmod.com, I have tried to get some things from them in the past and they just didn't seem to helpfull, but that's just my opinion...

Plus, garage1217 has his LEDs for 59 cents and no minimum order, and of course $5 shipping through priority mail, which usually gets to me within 3 days...

fyi.. i'm not ledmod.com... so i'm not offended.. moreso offended that no one on this forum realizes i still do swaps despite the fact i don't really.. uhh.. advertise it much anymore?
then again i'm not the type to really go around and solicit such a thing..
but i do swaps too you know.

answer questions.. come up with ideas.. the two tone thing? *raises hand*.. i did that first..
reversed lcd? hi again..

so i have supplies... shoot.. i'll be working on a tacoma this weekend.. the guy's driving from 4.5 hours away..

For your car, a solid red theme or red / white combo would look fantastic. Red is a very vivid color & really turns heads.

I am happy to help if you have any questions or concerns on the swap. My turn around time is super fast & express mail 1-2 day shipping is included in the price of my combo swaps. I also stock in bulk all of the parts you could need for a swap and can have them out same day in most all cases via priority mail if you would like to tackle the project. Happy Holidays!

Not to make a war in this guys thread or anything, but I wasn't referring to you when I said LEDmod, I was only saying that because I have had experience with Sean over there, and he kinda seemed rude to me, but like I said, that's just my opinion...

I personally did know that you did installs, as I have seen your posts before, but I wasn't sure about whether or not you stocked the supplies, which is why I referred him to garage1217...

And we all know that it doesn't matter who did something first, what really matters is that this is supposed to be a community and we are supposed to be here to help eachother, not to boast about who has done what...
