Yeah, maybe the led's under the seat won't be that great, but I've gotta try.. saw it in a pic and thought it'd be cool to have a nice glow under there

I like what you've shown.  Are those the white decal overlays on the gauges? And if so, are the white lit gauges using factory bulbs or are they clear LEDs?  They ( the two white ones ) look very bright and I am curious if it is due to the lights or the white face.

Just received my dash cap. It is probably the worst piece of crap ever. Tomorrow I will upload pics of this crap. Seriously, it was cut by hand with a razor and the plastic was so uneven in places it ripped like butter by TOUCHING it. Upon putting it to my dash and the fit was NOT snug or even close to it, I realized I was putting more cracks in MY dash. GREAT. I emailed them and told them it's going back Monday. I want my 129 dollars back, PRONTO.
