Default I ordered my needle-fix today!

ahhhhhhhhhhh! finally took off the cluster and sent it in to lextech. can't wait to get my newly lit BRIGHT RED needles back!!! fyi: shipping is expensive to send the unit out...it cost me like $40 from cali, but i insured it for $500. i also, put bubble wrap and packing peanuts for safety. i know...i'm **** like that. hahahaaa

-will post pics once i receive it back. i'm going to swap the LED's in myself once the cluster gets back. keep y'all posted.

The "32" backlight? Yes, please post pics when you can. I am trying to decide between a green backlight or white.

I am not sure if I have the 16 or 32 backlight at this point. I ordered the 16 and they offered a group buy on the 32 (buy the 32 and get free needles) after I sent my cluster in. If they had not already done the 16, I think I may have gotten the group buy deal, meaning the 32. PM O.L.T. about price as he is back running Lextech and he was not when I sent the cluster. I'll post pix when this is done, which should be this weekend.

Default Update!!!

Yup, OLT hooked me up w/ the GB price. I was fortunate enough to be included with this. My timing couldnt have been better with this. So basically, you pay 2 bills to get the 32-backlight in any color, and lextech hooks you up w/ needles for free. Since I already paid $100 for the needles, I only had to pay $100 more to get everything done. It's well worth it. Judging from what everyone says, and all the pics in the forums, this thing will come back lookin sweet! I'll keep you guys updated w/ pics once it returns.

whats up CL?? still haven't received my cluster back yet. I shipped it out on December 17th, but according to Lextech, they've been delayed due to the holidays and because of the Group-Buy. So from my understanding, I should receive the unit back by end of next week for sure. No worries, I will post pics once I have it back.
