Maybe later, when US value rises up - it will be better  Well I'm not in the US, so US exchange rate doesn't bother me. And perhaps you could find a way to reduce costs - perhaps outsourcing small production run manufacture to a prototyping company in Asia for instance - if there is sufficient demand? -------------------- Davey

Fine then, can you create a guide? I assume the plastic has to be cut, molded, whatever. If I ever swap, I'll be messing with the gauges anyway...might as well change something.

Hey Lagos, long time man  Well - installis pretty straight forward - you messure where the positive is on the cluster bulb sockets - and i ussualy solder the positive wires from the Leds that are installed in the cluster. Do the same with the Negatives... Leds DO blow up after some time - but i had this problem only few times... especially - if the strips of leds is used... before i was using separate leds (5mm ones) - so with them i never had any problem.. But the amount of work needed to fix every single led, angle them, and wire them - its a bit too much... -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...

...wow.
I love the finished exterior, it's just awesome. I'd rather keep the stock GT-4 panels, but IF I were to do a bodykit...this would be it. And I demand a picture of those seats in the car.

Hi guys! 27-August we had a little girl. So a little bit lost. The machine is almost ready (there were some small things), now begin to complete the project on your forum.
  A few pictures as the car appeared at the end of September:   -------------------- www.celica-club.lv |
