    i'll be rice for a moment and say that i wouldn't mind converting my instrument cluster to a blue glow, along with the center console. but i'm too lazy to find LEDs to replace the OEM back lights for the instrument cluster...plus would the needles still glow if you painted them orange??

    well I've said it before and I'll say it again. it's not necessarily my taste, but I do have to give you credit for going out of your way to do some detailed mods to your car. Nicely done.

    Re: (Repainted)

    check out these pics of a few hondas going to crap.found them in a boneyard off the beaten path around here when the price of metal went up every1 crushed just about all the hondas locally.So I had to drive out to the boondocks to find these but the blue honda by its self is a 5spd lxi.So when I get the money I think I found the donor car for a 5 spd swap to my lxi..When I was there today I got the axle,alternator lower control arm an strut to put my dx back toghter so I get it going today maybe.
