Here I have clipped off the circular base of the new plastic clip. This is in preparation for the new clip to be "JB Welded" to the metal backplate.

Here is a pic of the plastic clip with the circular base clipped off. The goal is to make the "DIY clip" have the same position as the factory clip.

Her is another angle of the factory clip and DIY clip side by side.

Here is the plastic clip "JB Welded" tot he metal base clip. The toothpick was used to clear out the circular mounting holes on the metal baseplate. Once It is aligned to match the factory plastic clip position, I will let it dry/cure for at least 48hrs.

Here I used snips/cutters to trim off the circular base to the plastic clip. in poreparation for the plastic clip to be "JB Welded" to the factory metal backplate.

This picture was taken just to indicate how the backplate will sit on the inside window trim. The circular window trim clip does not get installed on the bottom corner of the window trim as seen in this pic. It actually gets installed in the top corner of the inside window trim.

These are the Hillman clips I purchased at pepboys for this demonstration along with 2 factory clips (one broken), and JB weld.

Made by Dorman part# 799-135. I believe this is what I used for my car's personal window trim clips.

Here is where I got the tank from. The price has gone up a little bit, the seller is still selling this combo.

48 cubic in., 3,000 psi HPA (High Pressure Air) nitrogen/ compressed air tank with pressure regulated hose. Used for paintball. both parts new cost ~45$ from ebay.com .This will be used for the future recharging of my shocks. A local air compressor shop quoted me $20 to fill this tank. Considering a shock is only charged to 150 - 300psi max, and has a small area for gas internally, this should last me a long time.

Revalved (by BC racing) IS300 BC racing 16kg/mm shocks. The stock IS300 shock is valved for 10kg/mm in the front I believe.

Stock BC revalved (by BC) shock for 16kg/mm spring. This is an "Extreme Low Kit" shock. The set of 4 was bought for a lexus IS300.

Estimated Results: Same Revalve dyno & internals but with a gas charge pressure of 150psi. This is an educated guess based off of previous successful dyno results. These results seem to be better suited for a 14kg/mm to 16kg/mm spring. Yes as low as an 8kg or 10kg spring can be used(The results [in rebound] may be pretty decent with these at the lower click settings).

Depending on which LED you purchase from digikey.com or radioshack you can enter the LED's forward current rating (in milliamps [ma]), and the gauge cluster's supply voltage (9.9volts or 10.9volts...see pic above) into this resistor value calculator located here - http://led.linear1.org/1led.wiz.

Voltage information for the needles. small needle - is 9.9 volts large needle - is 11 volts these measurements were taken with my voltmeter with my gauge cluster in the dash while the car was on.

Here is the white innards of the needle snipped from its base. I put it next to the clear rod for viewing comparison. Remember to snip just enough off of the clear rod to fit your LED in the needle.

stock gauge needle with white LED plastic innards removed. to remove the white innards use a tiny (eyeglass size) angled screwdriver pick on the black plastic circles that hold it in place (ex. see in this picture the 4 black plastic pieces remaining on the needles counter-weights). DO NOT Remove the Counterweights! you will regret it.

I used 3mm diameter fiber optic rod. I would recommend using 2mm or 1mm (if you can find it). 3mm barely fits and causes the needle plastic to widen when used.

GOOP - the clear adhesive I planned to use for securing the clear rods in place. I have not put it on yet, but for those trying this you may find something even stronger.
