Well I got these done last night to, nice! Sorry guys no pictures yet but I did try to document the process so I will post them later. It was pretty straight forward with only a couple of small things to watch out for. Time involved: approx 2.5hrs depending on how much beer you have on hand! :? I have one issue and that is now my dash light is on when I turn my headlamps on showing a burned bulb. Nothing is burned out and all lights are working normally. I haven’t had any time to troubleshoot it but my first guess is that the new tails or new bulbs have a difference in resistance outside the circuits sensor range it uses to detect a failed light.

The Jspec Taillight cluster is definately on my want list… have been for a couple years. But it’ll just have to wait, maybe next year… The problem with buying expensive rims (last year) is I had to pass on many other items I wanted to get (jspec tails, blow-off valves, cross-drilled rotors, hardpipes, etc.) for the time being. Oh well, at least I got the rims I wanted. (my philosophy was do it right the first time). ---

I didn’t order the center panel, I just was not digging on the red but on your car it will match up nicely. I think I am going to customize my current center panel somehow to make it different, ideas welcome! ---

I thought of that but wasn’t sure how “disco” that would look, I think if I kept the light red it would be ok. I read those procedures a while ago. From what I remember it looked fairly easy to moderate on the mod scale. ---

I got both sides for $300USD hte center panel was +$90USD but I passed on it. It wasn’t like it was cheaper to buy it all together so I though I would add it later if I wanted. That was from UltimateZ. Oh ya add about $90 for shipping and duty depending on customs that day (seems to vary with each thing I order from the states) ---
