ill get some better pics of mine up soon

i have some pics on my fridge from christmas cards and when people have kids, they rarely last more then a year or two before they degrade.

Save the file when you do your dash so you can print another one should it fade

Those are pretty nice. I really like how it looks. That and the FD. I'm thinking about doing something like that with the Logicon. I took my broken one apart the other day and discovered you can basically do the same thing. Only I don't have super awesome printer or software lol.

my superbright led license plate lights on my daily driver started flickering like a strobe light last month, well one did.
The other started this weekend

I have smoked lenses on my vert, so I just ordered 4 brake light and 2 turn signal bulbs from http://www.elef-usa.com/apps/webstore/

hopefully these are nice and bright and last long
