I meant to take a day time picture but I forgot to; I will take a picture tomorrow around 2PM so you can see what it looks like in the day time; I did notice today that you can slightly read it, but the text does hide its self with the black/dark trim pieces and surrounding colors.

Will post more pictures tomorrow

I think I might just remove them for a while and see how much I miss them; I do like how much easier it is to turn the dials though; I might try to dip the rings sometime and see how they would look black.

I originally asked for Black, but they had a Red set available so I switched colors; Kind of wish I didn't.

I decided to Black Carbon Fiber wrap the 5 lower covers on the switches today; I think it added a nice touch. I also used a small strip of electrical tape on the back of each side to use as a temporary mount area. Still need help with Adam on the rear defroster and then it will be done.

I am also going to keep the red rings on the unit; This is personally my favorite picture of the build so far

When I hooked up the GT86 clock, that is when I got the airbag light; I switched back the stock FRS clock and it went off. My guess is that the ECU is throwing the light because it knows its not the correct part. For right now, the GT86 clock is currently in.

My solution is to keep the stock FRS clock unit and replace the orange LEDs for red LEDs so that it will still be red (like the GT86) but cancel out the airbag light on the dash.
