Just finished this HVAC and Gauge cluster for a great customer that shipped his items in to me! Radio is being finished to match in the morning and all items will be shipped today. This setup "blue & white with red warnings" works well, looks hot. Basically while you are driving you will always see just blue and white. But if any hazards or warnings pop up such as check engine, oil pressure or anything else, they will pop up bright red which you cannot miss. Good stuff and good choices by the customer!

 

Looks amazing... great work!

 

DUDE! You got a flat tire...

 

Haha, guess the wheel on my desk chair blew out

 

looks great!

 

I can see it now... Rolling down the hall and all the sudden... BAM! **Garage takes a spill on the floor and pastic wheel pieces go flying and hit an old lady one office over...**

 

How much to do a cluster and HVAC?

 

Here ya go, at the bottom of the page you have icons to go were you want and get prices for each item. Prices vary depending on what you would like to have done!

what's the average turnaround time?

 

Finished the day I get them and shipped out the next as long as you have an appointment.

 

This may be a silly question. But, do you guys have pink leds you can use for the swap?

 

if he's like me... we don't use pink leds due to its reputation of fading over time.

instead... color filter in front of white leds.
like the one i did myself on my car..


gonna probably change it to a more.. less pastel of a color and have something with more vibrance sometime.. eventually..

 

dang it, I need to do my gauges!!! Looks ridiculously awesome!!!!

 

I want pink fading into white!

 

What did you use on the needles for the blue? I want mine to be just like that.

 

uhm.. you mean the acrylic paint?

 

uhm, yeah. I meant the acrylic paint. Only if I knew it was acrylic paint my post would have been something like this:

"Nice job! I'm going to do my needles like that as well!"

 

:D

well... just be careful when removing the stock orange stuff off.. i use isopropyl alcohol as it's easier and less harsh..

acetone works too.. but you need to work with it fast and wash off, having it on too long will ruin the plastic.

and then best way to get the orange deep inside is to take apart the needle.. much easier.

 

I was thinking about doing a different color. But, if you have seen my car, I must say I have to do pink if it can be done.

 

what do you use as a color filter?
