important:
btw, very short notice but I'll be stopping production of the indicators after this batch.
I can take TWO (maybe 3) more whites and only ONE more blue...
this is already taking into consideration the members who are interested and contact me already: 1) importvizion who wants to pick it up in person but hasnt finalized his order, 2) but not bdubfosho because I am unsure which color he wants.
Bottomline: if bdubfosho wants the last blue, then only whites are left!
Reason: I just did a quick count of my remaining LED's and realized i've been selling em like hotcakes! That plus the fact that school is starting soon again + new business venture - only got 24 hrs in a day. It's been fun setting up this GB and getting everyone on it~! Thanks for your understanding

Great job with all the shift gates and all the mods that a creative mind can think of. Haha ya kind of inspired me go run out and try this mod myself and it was fun, I've tried making the shift gate in all sort of ways and even taping the letters inverted so I can paint the back and the front would be on the glossy side but maybe it was the type of paint I bought that wasnt so good. I got it at autozone, which was only 2 50 and it was a high gloss all purpose spray paint. I might just go try that again and buy a different type of paint.

I love how you posted a normal message about how disappointed you are with the indicator and ask nicely for a refund, and IMMEDIATELY send me a hateful PM about it again.
Let me tell you something, you overreacting and immature brat, I am not going to try to convince you that I messed yours up on purpose. I'll simply tell you I didn't. It could be shipping damages or the fact that there was overspray on that set, in which case is my fault and I shall apologize for that. Ask ANYONE who has purchased & received a set from me that has had a problem. When asked for a solution or exchange - I can guarantee that they'll say I dealt with them in an effective, fair manner. Your anger and use of obnoxious words will not in ANY way alleviate the situation - I would have been MORE than happy to give you a full refund on the indicator if you had showed me a picture of really how bad it is & simply said something along the lines of "there are scratches, paint chips, and non-aligned letters. not satisfied, please issue refund." And guess what, this does not only apply to this particular scenario but in ANY aspects of everyday life. I am not going to make any assumations about your background nor upbringing, but I will say, in my honest opinion as well as from how you have dealt with me, that you have a LOT of growing up to do. It might be hard for your to swallow my lecture to you especially since you are mad already & I'm only 3 years your senior, but believe me, if you take my advice and soften up a bit as well as increase your level of understanding & awareness of yourself AND those around you, the world will just seem a better place.
Now, the refund issue. Do take a picture of the indicator and if it truly is as bad as you described it to be, gladly give you the $17.5 back. Keep the indicator & LED if that does happen, I have no need for it. If you just want to send everything back, I'll refund you the full $20, thank you.

I can say that Jonathan was great handling my purchase. When I received my indicator, the blue LED was missing. I sent him a PM and he promptly mailed me the LED. Yes, you can tell the indicator is homemade if you really look at it closely, but from the driver's seat is perfect, but it's not crap as vzuptnguyen makes it seem.

Nice job on that Ontairio first of all and is it just me or is that P alittle orangy? haha maybe Im just seeing different colors. Now on Subtle's situation with Vzuptnguyen, I dont believe he would screw up your indicator on purpose because it isnt worth his time to even pinpoint out one and screw it up. My indicator didnt even come out perfect with uneven cuts and the letters werent all perfectly done but I dont really mind because I know he is doing it in mass production and it is a biatch to cut it and also perfectly peal the sticker off nicely. Give it a try and you will know how time consuming it is to make these. I made quite a few but chucked most of them out cuz I couldnt get the paint to smoothly go on without these little small particles and that is probably because the high gloss paint I bought plus little particles getting onto the indicator when it was drying. Me personally I just decided to go back to my regular shift gate indicator because I figured since my whole dash and instrument cluster was like greenish and the shiftgate just stood out too much unless I did the LED conversion it wouldnt look right. So in the end Subtledream did a great job and cut a nice profit out of it and it shows what a creative mind can do

hey jonathon i just noticed that i only got one led, i think its the white one and i ordered both white and blue. Are you sending another one in a different envelope since i paid separately or did you just forget to send both, b/c im pretty sure it didnt fall out, the envelope looked sealed with tape. I know you are sold out, so if you dont have a blue led i understand (please let me know where i can get one), but if you have another one i would love to get it. Thanks!

Man if only I could get myself to do the fogs but too bad Im such a pansey to break into the car like that. The closest I got to ripping the car up was with the tail lights and installing the USASPEC for the ipod. Anymore would simply be uncivilized <--- I miss that commercial.
