Default LED cluster, and SAFC dash mount pics

Well the radio went kaput in my weekend car and since I couldnt ever really hear it anyway I decided that was the new place for the SAFC. I also got all the LED replacements in and went ahead and redid the cluster and all the centerconsole bulbs in white. I'll have pics of the console lights later. Please note the shift boot is homemade, and the shift **** I molded from mighty putty lol. I couldnt find one big enough that comfortably fit my hand. so I just made my own, it weighs a ton and is perfect for my hand size haha.







edit: the climate screen is really spotty because I forgot to diffuse the LEDS I soldered in. Also on my list of stuff to fix haha

No stereo, its my race car or at least more of a race car then my red car. I only drive it on weekends and I never used the radio anyway. I turned it on one time to see if it worked and that was it. its the 3m dinoc vinyl. I always like to keep a tube around because Im always doing my interior lol

The cluster looks good and I love the carbon fiber on the center console.

A good way to reduce hot spots in the cluster is to sand down the led so the led lens becomes frosted.
