Finally finished my dash/console!

[jolyrojr]

stereo color change, all led ac controls, lit cd box, lit vents, automotive painted and cleared,

I dont look like a hobo driving around with no dash anymore yay!

[xtwoonamatchx]

Wow that looks great!! think you can do a write up for the AC controls? That is something I would REALLY like to do.

[jolyrojr]

I have pictures on memory cards all over, let me see if I can find them, but it was really simple! I started by ordering one of the size 74 v-leds sets, which suck. I added the leds, then wired them to the v-led and plugged it in. I did different bits differently, and I know which methods I wouldnt recommended, so as long as I can find the pics.... cause I dont wanna take it apart again to show ya lol.

very nice how did you get the passenger trim piece off?

[iluvmyVersa08]

That looks awesome. I love the led controls !

[Codelicious]

That is awesome!

I'd be interested in changing the LEDs on the stereo. Was it hard?

[Mikiee]

Damn, I wish you lived near me, I'd bring my car over and leave it with you for a week.

me 2!!! lol

Hey, sorry I didnt see the notice in my email, so i didnt know anyone responded lol

very nice how did you get the passenger trim piece off?

The trick with that peice is the trim is attached to the vent(via a screw, infact all the vents are attached to the trim for some reason) AND it has a tab on the far right side, so you have to get trim off from the left, work over to the vent, pull out the vent with the trim by way of the 2 tabs you can see in the vent, then rotate the whole thing around towards the door and up and get the end to drop off the tab. pretty stupid if you ask me.

That looks awesome. I love the led controls !

Thanks! There is a lot more I want to do, but then I saw you did it and now I dont want to look like im copying you lol. I think I have around 165 leds I hand wired in. oh plus the 25 in the dome, so almost 200.

That is awesome!

Only if you dont know how to solder 0603 surface mount leds. there are 42 of them I think, 30 on the face and 12 in the lcd. The volume nob is kind of a b****, because it has screwes that got stripped instead of coming out, as well as 4 through hole solder points that are bent on the back side so it is extra secure. the lcd is in a kind of box, which I removed, then i bent the screen itself just enough so I could reach inside, which made it harder, but its better than the hassle of removing all billion pins on the lcd screen itself. I have pics here: stereo-lights-t510742.html

and

me 2!!! lol

well, if you ever wanna come visit New Mexico/ southern colorado...

Awesome. Why didn't you do the little dash compartment lid though? it looks lost in that sea of red.

[jolyrojr]

Because the center console has red as the main color, black becomes the accent. The front of the deck is still black, the knobs, the vent fins, air bag thing and hazard button. Without accents it really would be too much red. If I had continued the red and black stripes onto the center console, as I very nearly did, I would have painted that door, but inverted probably.

[Jape]

I get what you're saying, and to each his own artistic difference. It just seems to stand out like somethings missing.. Maybe a bitchen "VERSA" logo or "NISMO", do what ever you like im just adding my 2 cents.

[jolyrojr]

I can see how youd see it as a little blank canvas, i may have to do that.

That box is modded so it has lights inside that turn on when he door opens. I took off the chrome strip, but never got around to replacing it with red. I will have to think on what to put there long and hard because I really cant afford to ruin the door any further lol.
