Yep just an overlay. Simple idea to make them blue. I don't think anyone has ever done this in a T/A. I know people have taken theirs apart to make them blue or bought camaro gauges. Hopefully my way makes it simple and cheap to do!

Sorry, no more in that price range. I basically just got lucky cause a friend works there. I may get hooked up in a few months with another deal and this one will be up for sale, if you'd be interested. I'd sell it wth the screen, DVD/VCD player, and 10-disc MP3 changer.

The button next to my TCS is a conv. top switch wired for my QTEC electric cutout.

Here's a pic with the screen down.

I tried to get some yesterday, but they all came out blurry. I can try again and see or with different settings. It's awesome to have that switch there, easy (and stock looking) access to open or close my elec cutout!

Yeah, gotta give away my secrets... Otherwise people would be mad at me.

Here's pics of the cutout switch. Better quality, but not as good as I wanted... Sorry.

dude, the button looks awesome

would it also be possible to get the "top" thats written on it, off the button somehow? or it's not possible to get a clean looking button out of that ?

besides the "top" written on it, i love it! looks completely factory

do you by any chance know of the part #s for the button, and the panel that its in (my panel only has one place for the button, my traction control switch.. i assume i'll need a new panel, to go with the button)

thanks!

Yep, stock looking was my goal... You'll need a new panel and the switch. The switch was easy to come by, but the panel was on back order. Took it almost 6 months to come in, but they might have them in stock now.

I doubt if you could get the "top" part off. Best bet if you can't stand it is to cut out a little vinyl sticker circle to place on top. Other than that, you're pretty much stuck with it. The switch also lights up too.

There's a sticky on this board or LS1.Com with all the info, wiring and parts # to order it.
