Looks great! How difficult is it to read the speedo, seems like it's pretty tightly packed.

I will probably be too chicken, just like the full led replacement, but we ALWAYS like good DIY guides!

After I got it in yesterday I drove around just to see how hard it was to read and I actually find it easier to read than the stock one. Youre actually modifying the window on the overlay and not the LCD itself so if you have even basic skills then you can do it. Ill write up a DIY a little later today but right now I wont be able to have many pics since I didnt even think about it while I was doing it but ill do what I can. So if theres anyone near me in Jonesboro, Ar or Memphis, Tn then ill help you do yours so I can get some pics.

Out of curiosity. What did saleen charge to recalibrate the speedo?
Looks killer, although to be honest I don't mind the green lcd.

Me too but I was too lazy to tear into the cluster when I did my LED mod. I just turn my display off.
Nice to see it all one color though. Good job man!

Same here. Having it in a color that matched the rest of the dash would be great.

Saleen only charges $100 for the labor and I provided the overlay and a return shipping label in the box for them. and I didnt forget about the DIY guys so dont worry.. just between work full time and college full time I dont have a whole lot of free time haha. As for what color is better, to each their own as its your car but for me I love having every little detail match and that green was just gonna bug me with everything else being red

Who said I havent already seen the second half that speedo? lol I see it at least once a month on either a trip to Memphis or a trip to the strip. Now until I get a few suspension upgrades and non stock tires I dont want to push it too far... yet! I live in the middle of no where its nice and flat... you can draw your own conclusions what I do with those nice flat straight roads
