wow thats crazy, looks great. i thought this was a long term project but its already done. cluster is easy, ive done a bunch and can help you out if you get stuck. just pull off needles, use qtips and acetone to remove the painted filter on the back of gauges, and then wire all the leds in on the plastic shield. i actually have a cluster where all the work is done except the leds, it has cleared gauge face (black w/white numbers), white painted needles, and ready for leds. you could use it for parts or something. ive been lazy so never got around to doing the leds. if you want it lemme know. maybe for like $50 shipped or something.

Looks really good man! Absolutely love it! I'm saving pictures of your bezel for when I do my carputer!

Looks good but how long is your startup time on the computer? You'd be able to cut it down if you used a half gig of RAM instead of a 1 gig stick, that's overkill. When the computer is starting up and shutting down (except standby) it dumps the information stored in the RAM to disc and then loads it again. so the more RAM, the longer times. Nice though.

As gizmo would say "bright light, bright light". Good job on the whole thing. Hope that's wireless keyboard. If not, get one.

Too bright for my taste though.

they are actually NOT AS BRIGHT AS THEY SEEM...its just the setting of my XTi.

they actually "glow" and you really dont notice as much as you think you do when ur driving.


and YES, they are DIMM-able. i tapped it in, so that you use teh STOCK DIMMING **** on ur speedo cluster.


yea, i was think about that. i read teh same thing on mp3car.com but its not as bad as id though. i usually let my car idle for about 30 sec before i drive it to let all the oil, coolant, etc stuff run throught my car before i drive it. (most the time)

hmm..thats interesting.. i liek what u did looks very clean.. the leds in the air vents is creepy.. u see too much inside wich creeps me out.. but other than that.. thats awesome.. u deserve sum rep! next u should think about at least changing the orange in ur dash and ur cruise control...


EDIT: ive given u too much rep already.. my mistake. sorry lol

What can I say? That's an awesome job! Everything came out good. The LEDS are a bit much, but it's hot none-the-less.

Nice. The bezel seems very glossy though. Is that a lilliput screen?

Rep Power: 352

haha nope. thats not gonna happen. cost me like 1400 or something (a while ago)....lol its staying on =]



i was wondering when you were gonna comment.

If you're thinking about a smaller wireless keyboard, Mad Catz makes one for the PS3 that works well in the car. Here's mine:

Glad I could be some inspiration!

Are you painting any other trim pieces in your car to the glossy black?

well, jsut the headunit relocation and the screen console. but its actually a "semi" gloss.....its not that reflective...

ahh...damn that SLR XTi.....so much detail...hahahha

 
Rep Power: 352

haha yea...i actually dont drive with that big keyboard.....it was just for pixture show purposes....because it lit up blue...haha

i actually have a semi small wireless keyboard.....but i am going to get a smaller one in the future.

cops ever stop you because you have blue lights?

 
Rep Power: 352

lol talk about a thread resurection.

nope. even when i get pulled over they dont really ask. its not as bright as u think it is and i can always dim it down with the lil **** on the tach.
