Right now it has the stock computer in it, but I've got a microtech LT12 waiting to be installed. The DASH unit is installed on the console where the vents used to be.

I picked up the indiglos on ebay. I had to mount blue leds in the clear plastic lens approx where the original back lights shined through. I just drilled a small hole in the plastic and glued in the Leds.

With all the stuff I need to put in the console, there was just no way to make it look right with the stock surround. I'll end up putting a few gauges under the DASH unit once I figure out what I want. What's nice about the carbon fiber one is that it's blank, so I could cut it out exactly how I wanted.

I'll probably get the carbon fiber shifter surround so it all matches.

Here's my setup so I can charge/jump the battery behind the pass seat and make it legal for the track. Can't use a spare tire though, but you put the plate over it and no body has to know.

I'm so turned off by their pricing that I've started making my own molds. If you can wait a couple months I'll have some at a reduced price. Pricing expected to be in the $120 range maybe less if the cost of carbonfiber comes down. I'll be experimenting with a defroster vent and demister grill also.

Yea there pricing is pretty high. Good thing I bought the CF dual gauge and FG sideskirts from them when they first came out and before the prices skyrocketed.
