Looks awesome...I think I sent him a PM about doing mine for me, would you wanna do mine since he has yet you write me back. The first email I sent him, he said he would just to let him know when I was ready, then I emailed him @ his company stating who I was, and have yet to hear back from him...It's been 2 weeks so far...

I really would rather not have the responsibility of ruining another mans odometer. I was crossing my fingers the whole way through hoping I wouldnt screw something up, Id hate to imagine screwing up someone else's. Sorry man!

I only turned the key to "on" without cranking the engine so all the lights were lit. No real SES here

Thanks for the support people!

Nope! I thought you would need to also but I asked LS1_SS about it and he said not to use them here. So I went on a limb and took his word for it and low and behold!
