So, the weather let up a little and I decided to go to the local junkyards to see what I could find. Low and behold for 7000 yen (around 85 buck with the exchange rate) I found all kinds of treasures =)
     Seems like my project is coming right along... Tonight I will post pics of all the blue LED's I've used in the interior (Damn my overhead courtesy lights are bright (blue) now) over in the interior section later. Questions, comments, concerns... all are welcome =) -------------------- -Dan

Yeah, I'm in the military so can ship via an APO. I will keep an eye out for JDM parts and such for you guys and when I find them I'll post them up. Also, if people are in need of LED's I can source them but you are probably better off mail-ordering them seeing how they are pretty spendy here! (I recently spent over 100 us to have my interior go blue...)

Sadly, usually when you buy things from dealers, an APO costs more (almost like shipping overseas) and some companies are not willing to ship some or all products to an APO. It is kind of frustrating. I have made friends with people who live off-base though so if I can source some JDM parts from local in Japan, I can have them sent to a local address =D

But shipping always sucks, you should load up, then take leave then sell it CONUS. |
