Default My Interior and Exterior Transformation Thread!!!

Hi all!! After having my is for about 2 full weeks, I caught a mild bug and heres the after math!





It was a lot of fun doing this little "project" following nyczzzjohn's super easy DIY thread and Danknees DIY thread on my.is/forums. (If I knew how to link them in I would) I do however have a few photos to clear up some things that I had questions on since my IS is an 04 model and a little different from the two gentlemen listed above.
I used all LEDs from superbrightleds.com super quick shipping!

The first photo is the #3 screw that holds in the main cluster shroud that nyczzzjohns toe was pointing to (Right below the ignition ring)


Second photo is specifically for 02+ ISs (I think) The screws that hold the top part of the AC vents ( The ones that you initially have to take off first to remove the top portion of the vent shroud) There is a little flap that you have to take a flathead to and pop it off. Underneath are two phillips head screws that will need to be taken off. Afterwards, just pull up and towards you and voila!

As far as my two additional photos everything else I followed nyczzzjohn's thread and Danknees thread. I also ordered a Pioneer P1400 dd head unit to match everything else. Ill post up pic when I get that baby installed.
Heres a little extra LED awesomeness:
Trunk light

Reverse lights

Reverse light comparison

City lights

I know, a little kiddish but I had to
While I was out and about I went ahead and Plasti-Dipped my rear emblems as well... Here they are!

Somewhere in the middle:

After:

Thanks for looking and if you have any questions on anything just holler at me!

Great job on the interior lights, especially on the gauge cluster.

What's next on the mod list?
