Default the gauges

Yah I'd love to replace the lighting on the gauges but as far as I know it's indiglo material... that stuff can be bought but needs to be custom printed on etc... am I wrong here?

What I think would look is some sort of reverse indiglo guage cluster replacement with built-in F1 style digital readout, kinda like on the s2000 I guess but not exactly. *shrug*... there are just no options as far as I know for the guages, but yah, it might become a future DIY

TYPEII: Nice I am looking at your keyring... thinking of doing that next and maybe matching window controls on the doors... I wish I had the manual for this car tho, guessing how to take everything apart and analyzing the circuitry is annoying

Ok, that's the deal sealer. One of my bulbs on my radio has gone out, so half the radio is dark. One of my boys is good with LED's and electrical circuits... time to crack it open!!! I just need a more detailed Step by step DIY. This post is pretty good, but i need it to be more complete!

Looking great - thanks for sharing. I'd love to do something like this, makes the interior look a bit more modern.

Are you serious it is illegal to mod cars in taiwan? My wife is from there and we went back a couple times already, and everywhere we go I see modded cars. (pretty ricey too, but not as ghetto rice as some cities in texas). My wife's cousin has a Audi A4 and he put a turbo in it. He also imported his 93 MR2 turbo, which got stolen within a week and was never found.
