custom ac controls
been awhile since i posted over here, figured i'd post up some progress pics
went to the JY a couple of weeks ago and picked up a few (6) ac units, and took bits and peices (some were black faced w/ green or orange lighting, etc)
heres the stock one (silver w/ green lighting)
heres the new one (black face, orange (soon to be red) buttons and clock, blue lettering and LCD)
(the LCD has been changed since that pic, its now the reverse of that (black background blue display) found that one in a Z with 'wood' panel display)
also the green climate down button is now red

Wow. That looks really nice. I really would like to try something like that. Honestly, I didn't even know until I saw those pictures you posted but my climate control lights hardly work at all haha. I've only been driving my Z for about a year now and I still am learning alot about cars in general. I suppose I'll have to pick up some AC units from my local parts yard too 
. Would be able to tell me about how much those cost you? (just curious).
