Still haven't received my package yet and the seller doesn't give tracking info. Not receiving any tracking info on packages always makes me apprehensive.

I'm in the same state as the seller and it still takes over a week. I'm interested in who gets their package first.

Just received my package and installed it in all of 10 minutes. Here is the before and after shots:

How come you got a sticker and I didn't? Then again, I'm not really partial to this brand so I doesn't matter too much.

Looks nice! I've been wanting to do this for a looong time. Did it to my brother's older BMW and thought it'd look great in the Solara.

Noticed this the other night. The light from my gauges is reflected off of the rings and makes them look like the halo from a solar eclipse.

I have a gen 4 Camry, so it only came with white behind the needles. And for those that might be inquiring, I installed white leds in there which I got from superbrightleds.com. Right now, I'm trying to figure out how to change the white backing of the needles to red.

Dude mine looks exactly like that with the blue cluster but I was planning to remove the orange needle color with nailpolish remover and repaint it white?

I did nail polish on my Accord. Could work. Remove all the orange with nail polish and only paint the top and sides of the needles white. that would look good. will def try since i dont have a job anymore... lol going back to school.
