I also sent out the dash panels for re-trim with suede leather... so I am going to use it like this for a week :p

Coming along nicely mate

 

Thanks mate... can't wait to see the final result when the dash is going to be back again... also I am waiting for the seat rails to be ready this week!

 

I love the white LED's, fancy some for mine. Have to be honest though and say the clocks look a little patchy i.e brighter in some places than others. Still a huge improvement though :)

Yes I have the same feeling about the dials but I dont know if ther's any way to change it, I think that the light of a typical bulb is more dissolving than the light of a LED.

 

One other issue I had is that the buttons of the heater (because of the age of the plastic) with the white backlight they are taking different shades of yellow (it's not that vissible to the photos but is really ugly in reality)

Heckler was happy to send him the heater back and change the buttons backlit from white to red.. so hopefully next week I will have this one as well! :)

Better idea for the buttons... just replace them with brand new Toyota items. You can purchase the actual buttons alone from Mr. T and they will have no yellowing at all, shouldn't be expensive either as they are literally little plastic covers that just pop off. Lots of the U.S Supra guys do it and I plan on doing mine.

They are looking really nice for sure, I just think that the driving position is a bit higher then it should be and that's annoying...

i'll give a try to modify them a bit...

 

Regarding the dash panels they are going to be ready during this week :D

 

Something else...

 

I want to change the low beam bulbs to something more white and less yellowish, as well as the running lights and the number plate lights... would you recommend anything ?

5 or 6K HID kit should do the trick and its not hard to fit it either, I did mine myself. I would recommend a slim ballast.

I have replaced my plate bulbs with LED ones from ebay, that's another simple job. I cant remember the model number of the plate bulb but i'm sure someone will know...
