Did a boost leak test and ended up replacing the Bliss screw o ring. Hopefully it runs well enough to make it to class tomorrow.

I bought it from rexpeed http://rexpeed.net/2012/en/product_d...php?serial=213
Since you are taking the gauge cluster out, I would seriously consider replacing the bulbs with LED ones too at the same time.

Wow, that looks great! I always wondered why they put Lancer in there, instead of evolution.

Love the LED upgrade...........these are simply plug and play? Might put this on my to do list this winter.

Today I started some work on my Seibon CF hood, took a sawzall to the rectangular vents over the engine area and cut them all out, going to try for a semi-OEM style hood when its all said and done. Had some clear coat issues I am taking care of, and going to do some custom work while I am at it.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I enjoy it very much. I got my kit from http://lightrikz.com./evo_kits.htm honestly its a little pricey for LEDs, and now that I've seen it, i could probably put it together for much less. But I don't want to mess with his business, so I'm going to leave it at that.

I would probably leave the odometer one stock because its so bright now, you see like a concentrated red dot especially during the day time, lol. But my odometer light went out so I kind of had to replace that one. Once the gauge cluster is out, you unscrew the OEM bulbs and put the ones that are provided.

In case anyone gets it, make sure you line up the LED bulb housing and then use some strength to fit the thing in there. The "Evolution" piece from rexpeed is top quality and looks and feels OEM.
