I love the look, if I only had the stones to do it...

Well, there is that.
I don't have a warranty to void so I'm ok.

The warranty is less an issue than taking somthing that works spending money to change it and end up fixing it two three times until it works again... a euro dash is much higher up my list of things to do.

I'm with karl on this one. I love the mod, but I would only consider this 3 or more years down the road when I'm in my the-hell-with-it mode. I'll have to print evilution's DIY instructions and archive them 'til then. Before then I'll also practice on an old PC or some other motherboard with tiny LEDs.

The site will still be around for all to see.

WOW, thats a seriously cool mod. Is it possible to do the temp controls too?

Evilution · 07-04-2008, 07:28 AM

Yeah, that is the last step, I will be working on that one soon.

Soon as I can afford another dash I plan on doing this. Can't be without the dash when driving, and it'll probably take me a couple of weeks to put the time together to complete it. Plus... the instrument panel is practically plug-and-play.... with two dashes, I can do one in blue, and then the original in another color like red or green or something, (maybe red and green for Christmas!!! ;P ) and then swap whenever I want.

My LEDs are on order. I took an electronics class and I used to solder boards and rc cars all the times. I have done an LED swap on some other electrical stuff, so nothing new. My Leds cost me $20 for 25. I will need only 20 of them for the dash, window controls and the button bar.

Wish me luck. My entire car is going to glow a bright blue. I also ordered a custom face plate from Evilution's recommended supplier. Its a retro colored faceplace with custom fonts using the IMPACT font in a white background.

My radio came in and will go in at the same time. A Kenwood KVT-512 and a Garmin KNA-G510 Navigational HD unit. Subwoofer is still being built but this will be my last piece I add in. I am prerunning all the electrical for the sub when I setup the radio.

Finally I also got the confirmation about my rims. They are on the way. I will show pics as I go through everything and get everything hooked up.

Where'd you order the face plate from?
