I did the key ring mod and the hvac. Both were extremely easy. I did a little variation on the hvac though. I orginally did the bulb condoms, but didn't like the color. I had seen a friend of mine, he had used candy apple red transparent model spray paint to paint the back of the faces. It came out a very nice red color. I did is also. Plus, my condoms had melted to the bulbs and was a pain in the ass to remove.

yeah when i do this i plan on simply buying the actual bulbs from http://autolumination.com/74.htm . they are a bit more expensive but I think would have a better result. sadly I cant do the radio as I have an 05 model with the actual LED being green rather than jsut a green light behind it. however I do intend to do the keyring and dash as I heard both are possible for the 05

I have heard of a lot of people messing up their gauges so be careful.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.
