Acree's Evo X Blue LED Interior Conversion
 
This conversion was completed for Krisiun. He has a Phantom Black Evo X MR. Current outside aesthetic mods are gold Volk TE37's, black out tails, etc. The interior is stock with the exception of an AEM Wideband and AEM Digital Boost gauge. When Chris dropped the car off, I showed him some of the mods I've completed on my IX. I believe that gave him full confidence in my abilities so he gave me full reign and cart blanche over the color choice and combination for the conversion.

With this conversion, the thing that sets it apart from others people have completed on X's previously is the level of professionalism and fine detail on every aspect of the build. Each LED has been hand selected from a batch of the same color for color correctness. I made sure the wave lengths match each color no matter which package size the led came in. The correct package size was utilized to replace the stock LED perfectly, whether that was a 0603, 0805, 1206, right angle, 5mm, or PLCC2 led. I added different types of diffusing material to different pieces to achieve a uniform lighting scheme throughout the interior. This is also the most complete conversion anyone has done on these cars. But the gauges are still white, you might say to yourself. Yes, but this was a deliberate choice as I believe blue gauges faces would be potentially over-bearing. The white gauges add a perfect balance to interior with a few of the other accents being white. Every switch, light, and button was modified in some way to make the entire interior cohesive.

With all of this being said, I've completed over 40 led interior conversions for 350z's, G35's, and FX35's in the past five years. I've been on my350z.com for the last 7 years under the same screen name. This is my first conversion on a X, and I would consider it flawless in every aspect.

Here is a complete list of every component converted.
AWC Switch (Blue)
SST Switch (Blue)
Shift Surround (Blue with White on Gear Select)
Passenger Airbag Indicator (Blue, since it stays on if no one is in the passenger seat. I wanted it to blend into the center dash.)
AC Controls (Blue)
Under AC Accent Lights (Blue)
Factory Navigation Controls (Blue)
Driver's Window Switch (Blue)
Headlight Level Switch (Blue)
ASC Switch (Blue)
Information Display (Blue Normal Operation, Red Warning Operation)
Needles (Blue)
AEM Wideband (Blue Seven Segment Displays, direct factory replacement)
AEM Digital Boost Gauge (Blue Seven Segment Displays, direct factory replacement)
Full Stereo, Cruise, and Handsfree Controls (Blue)

Tim drove 9 hours from Louisiana to let me complete a full conversion on his car to green. The result was an incredibly intense and stunning interior. I hope to have more pictures here in a few days.

Start to finish, it took around 14 hours. If I were to do it again, I would expect it to take around 10. Thank you for the compliments!

14hours? That is alot of attention to detail. Kudos to you sir.

Just curious...... how much would something like that cost including parts and labor? Whatever the amount is it would be worth it. That looks incredible!
