nice! That blue looks smooth. If my car wasn't sticking to a black/red theme this would be a pretty significant mod to accomplish. How much labor and parts did it cost you?

Just when I think I'm done modding ....

LED's on order - I hope it is as easy as everyone makes it sound.

The gas gauge is probably just either you pressed the needle on too far or you popped the worm gear out of place inside the white "box" on the backside of the pcb. If the latter, you'll have to cut the melted tabs off in the 2 recessed points, reposition the gear and then fuse the box back together.

As to the lighter side, you probably just have a bad solder joint. Take it back apart and check all of the solder joints on that side.
