My next ones would be the accents in the a/c vents.. I think that would look awesome.. and the interior red neons under the seats and the dash...
As for outside, I wanna get the red under body lights BUT I am still thinking of the way it'll be hooked up and operating...
To answer your question for the gauges, my problem is that I used a bad soldering iron.. COLD HEAT SUCKS!!! lol do not waste your money.. the $4.99 one from Wal-mart is the BEST one to do it.. I'm not lying...
so apart from that, I've never soldered anything in my life and I think I did some really nice quality work.. To give you a small tip, take the solder itself and cut very small pieces of it so you can add them to the sides of the leds. that way you'll know it has a good connection..
I followed that DIY pretty close and there are some tricky parts to it but you'll figure it out... the center console display for the time/temp and so on is very tricky cuz it's soldered to the PCB and you cannot take it off like your ODO display.. so i just bent the pins enough so I can take out and put the new LEDs in there... that was the hard part on that..

is the place where I got my LEDs from... their very very good... I love the brightness..the gauges are enough to light up my whole interior...
Other than that.. I can't think of anything that might be worth mentioning...if you have any more questions, PM me...
