I'm jealous! The Value Sports kit is over $1300 plus shipping! I think the OP meant that one of the indiglo gauges burned out. I saw good, now there's an excuse to take them out.

I had them, looked awesome, didn't know you had the reverse glow, those can be nice. My buddy scored the only set I've ever seen of black-faced reverse glow for his 98 AV6. Looked almost stock and when it was on it looked nice.

LEDs in the gauges are way better than wasting your money on the indigos I have a thread with what I have done so far in my LED conversion. I put blue LEDs in my gauges and it looks amazing. I'm just waiting on my 74 bulbs so I can be done with the gauges.

Congrats on the buy man, I think it's a fantasy to a good bunch of us hehe. Imo this is the best looking kit available for our cars. And I bet it will look awesome with that M3 style trunk lid.

If I may ask, what's that little red button in the cluster?

Ah nice, I would of never thought about that! Do they come in different colors or just the chrome? Since I have gold badging and intend to keep it, (even though people on here think its cheesy) and I wonder how it would look if I'd put those in gold.

Hey everyone the kit arrived and I put it on last night. It all went smooth and only took about one and a half hours to install. It came glossy black and it doesn't look to bad like that. I wont be able to paint it for another month. Heres some pics.

Holy shit that looks GREAT! The black/white contrast makes it very sporty I think. Can't wait to see it painted, but those photos are very satisfying for the moment.

Oh man the back of the car looks awesome. The front of the 1st gen 3.2's looks aggressive as is, with no mods at all. But the back is kinda wimpy, too much clearance in my opinion and the bumper is kinda small. However with this kit you get just the right look. Looks real impressive, can't wait to see it painted.

I miss my Legend strut bar... Well, I never drove on it, haha. It doesn't clear my fuel line so it's just sitting on the floor...

Is that because you have the 3.5L engine?

^ I had to bend my fuel line to fit the new fuel rails. Unfortunately I bent it in the wrong direction because it was easier (and I kinked it slightly), but I have a new line waiting for me to install. Once that's in I should be able to use the strut bar. What I really need is a rear sway, though, but there's almost no point for me to buy a new one if I can't get the two bushings/supports in the middle. Somehow I broke mine off the car and the mounting holes look a bit deformed. As a result, my rear sway kinda hangs down and is very noticeable from behind the car.

~Cheers~

Well I got the kit painted a while ago but I've been so busy I left you guys hanging... I also painted my rims white to match, they aren't all white, but white and machined. Hope you guys enjoy the pics. I use this car as my daily driver, which sucks because the more money I pour into her the more I want to put her in the garage under covers lol.
