What LED's did you use? Or did you do a panel and wired the LED's yourself? That looks really good! Sorry for all the questions btw, I'm just tired of the bland look of the interior and I'm trying to modernize it a bit.

Used some leds from superbrightleds and same here car is a 86 iroc 5.3/4l60 swap with full 4th gen interior and HVAC system then decided the interior needed even more modified stuff so leds,double din stereo/nav,comp/temp mirror, color changing cup holder,in dash USB port, and more build threads in sig link if you want to see everything and since I had a extra led layiin around test fitted it in the a/c **** area and I have no hotspots nice even color all the way around

Thanks for putting this together, I used the Ford Focus ***** and some 5 minute epoxy this weekend with a dremel, a great interior mod for less than $25!
