Something different.
Note: I'm not an approved vendor, therefore, I cannot discuss anything about this.
Just showing what I have been working on to modernize my GS.

I copied and pasted the images from my google photos. CL only pasted the link instead of the actual files.
Should be fixed now.
And here's another update.
Try to fit the BW S300SXE but ran into a few issues.
Gotta wait for more parts to come before I can get some boost.
Hopefully by August.

Can you do a DIY on the needles? I have some from a 01 Camry that I think may work but have never figured out exactly where to fire the LEDs.
