Acree's Conversions, No More!
 

I just read that Acree is not doing the LED conversion anymore. Does anyone no of DIY resource?

I wish I had the time to do these for people. It really is a sick mod!! I think he posted a good "how to" didn't he? Or maybe that was just a list of the LEDs he needs???

Acree, if you read this, PM me.

Thank GOD! Now my conversion will be more rare =D

lmao +1, he lives down the street from me so once i get my car back, its getting done.

I sent him alot of business because everyone ask but I am so happy. I cant tell you.

People shouldnt have waited the day I seen it I paid him.

His work is pretty amazing...he changed mine to red to match the defi BF's. along w/ the dual function dome light he did for me as well.

Oh hell, I'm gonna do myself, sit tight folks. Once I experiment a little its on.:cool:

Nic@cincity, your mods are pretty damn tight to. Are those LED rings in the lights. Do they stay lit when the lights are on. I might just use this money to have you mod my lights.

good luck on the DIY, ive heard its a royal PITA.

Myself, and my friend can do this. PM me for more info!

Pics of your work?

that looks sick

Acree is a great guy........

He is indeed. Sad to hear that he closed down his shop, he hadn't even opened it that long ago.

Best of luck Andrew! Keep up the good work.

Here are a couple pics:

I never even got to the shop part. I've been working out of my apartment. I will revisit the idea once I complete my degree.

Thank you for all of the compliments.

I am in the process of selling my Z to purchase an Evo IX. Until it is sold, I can still do conversions. On average I was only doing 1-2 per month, so the volume isn't very high.

To Mana Z, good luck with conversion. Now you need to do something to get the lighting perfectly even. Hot spots aren't a pretty thing. That's something that wasn't easy to do. Also, using the fluorescent orange to light up the red marks with blue leds works, but it's no substitute for a white led. I applaud you for tackling the project. If you plan on offering these conversions to customers, I hope you do good work, and have a good work ethic. I've never had an unhappy customer. And please, whatever you do, do not associate your conversions with any of my work. Make it clear that you guys figured this out yourselves, without my input or assistance.

On a side note, on Tuesday of this week, a member of these forums flew me out to his place in Pennsylvania. I completed a full interior conversion and installed a Valentine 1 radar detector with my V1 Homelink Mirror with LED Conversion. Even the status led on the homelink mirror is blue. 100% completely even lighting. Here are the pictures.

PM'd you back Acree. Your work is second to none my friend and hope we can work something out.

Man everytime I say I want to get this done I end up buying something else. LOL Hopefully once I get to Texas (this August) and a second car I can get it complete. Willing to do one more Acree?

This is unfortunate.

Where do yo get the gauge faces from. Will the oem faces work or is it that you must change it. And if anyone knows, what type of LEDs are required.
