Where did you order that from...it looks awsome. Also how hard was it to reset up the needles? Ive done this on other cars and always mess up the needles.

Thanks,

Chris

laidback - i orded the gauge faces from nrauto.com. very nice guys, fast shipping. all of the LED's on the interior of the car that illuminate the radio, ac controls, gauge cluster, triple gauge pod, and all door switches have been changed out to red LEDs. its a PITA!!!!!

@mike, thanks.

@mike, thanks.
Ok lets say I have 12 hours to kill, would you mind emailing me exactly what I need to buy and what I need to do in order to duplicate what you did. Laidbackracr@gmail.com I would greatly appreciate it when you have some time. I love the set up and I would gladly give up 12 + hours of my life for this mod.

Thanks

Awesome, I was wondering the complexity involved in changing out the faces. I think having the gauges painted the same color as the exterior would be a nice touch.

incase anyone didnt notice... it's not just gauge faces. every single light in the car has been replaced with red LEDs. in total, 14 hours of soldering tiny @ss LEDs.

::edit::
i was going to post some night shots, but my camera REALLY sucks when it comes to night shots. it also does not keep colors true to life. you put those 2 together, and the pics look like crap. i will have to use my friends nikon tomorrow night. sorry for the delay guys. i am very pleased with the results. everything is blood red, crimson. just imagine the reddest red you can get.

Congrats on the nice work, no one ever understands JUST how much time and effort goes into such projects. For those of you who like this type of stuff, here is a pic of the interior I did for my own personal project car. Currently it has no interior as the entire chassis was stripped and is being resprayed, but here is a link.. its not a Z33 but an S13 is still part of the NISSAN family, nonetheless....

Again, nice work with the interior.. try to get some night shots, it may be easier to capture the interior at sunset when its not TOO dark outside.
