    Not sure to be honest.
    It all falls on shipping really.
    Once I get the dash i work on it that same day and I have it shipped back the following day

    Where did you get the face plate from?

    All colors look awesome...even pink and purple :anonymous:
    I swapped My gfs Corolla in that color and when I drive it's weird looking at it but looks better than orange/amber

    I found this site (http://www.blackcatcustom.com/toyota_tacoma.htm) from searching TW over the weekend. its about as much as swapping an oem plate, but the status lights will be in the right spots and I can add the odd numbered mph numbers. I haven't ordered it yet tho.

    I cant decide between red or white needles on a blue background :confused:

    not really, all the other lights are still stock orange. replacing the radio too. just looking for a good contrast color with the blue background. if its all blue the needles might blend too well I think?

    with the needles blue, it will look good...but yea will blend in some

    i think if youre not going to change much on the inside you can do a blue with red needles.

    if you wanna get crazy a blue with green needles or purple lol

    well now that they are done updating the 2nd gen im gonna retrofit my interior with 12+ pieces and do some carbon fiber wrap on the trim. but as far as the rest of the led's go I don't currently plan to change them, cept for maybe the clock color to blue too. also given my forum avatar, I obviously kind of dig the blue/orange contrast :cool:

    Where are you located specifically in SoCal?
    Also is the turn around date still as said in your OP 1-3 days or is that just for shipping the cluster back? If not then what's the product turn around date?

    :) Thanks man

    I'm in Ontario. But you're local...ish
    Turn around when shipped (not local) is like next day 85% of the time...depends on how busy I am with my actual job or if sometime comes up.

    What are you looking to do?
    Just the cluster takes me like an hour to do
