Man im loving your car! I would really want to do that interior blue led swap like you did, was it very hard to do? And also how hard is it to change out the grilles?

2slow Feb 18, 2014 10:28 PM

Looking good! ;)

Thanks! I had CL member 2slow do them! It took at about 5hrs to do. It's pretty easy to swap out. Someone made a DIY thread on it.
