I'm at work and very bored.

Remove clock from dash.


Remove 4 screws from back.


Disassemble and apply translucent film* to viewable numbers.


Reassemble and install into car. Remember to reset the time.



*3m film. A combination of red and orange.

Haha cool What translucent film you use or where can I get one and apply it on the block face? Or where? Thanks.

 

Thanks MT3c! That was really clever!
Now how do you make the other lights amber?

 

dis sure beat buying a jdm clock

 

oh damn, now you have to learn how to do the climate controls and radio and i'm gonna go get some film right now. Nice job

 

damn, looks good. Wish I had just done that with the 3 extra clocks I have laying around, instead of buying an itr one. Oh well.

 

learn how, like this...

cruise control too...


it's orange, the pictures are over exposed and the light comes out more white. i'll have a how-to on these another time. the film used is 3m electrocut.

 

note, radio is an itr cd player.

 

Mt3c- Damn you got some skills, very very nice! Finally someone has figured out how to make the climate control orange. Is the climate control and clock in flush with the radio? From the last time i remember, the ITR has more of a deep orangish look to it.

 

i tried, but couldn't get it perfect. the clock and radio are pretty close. the cluster, cruise, and climate control are brighter and look lighter then the radio.

 

whats the safest way to take the clock out w/out scratching the dash up? how did you do the guages amber??

 

Hey looks like you got a green teg.. Got any exterior pics????
And so you used this 3M electro tape to do all of this?? where do you find this??

 

how do you do the cluster like that? i wanna do mine blue

 

think he uses bulbs behind the gauges to make it amber, i've done that before, but it just dind't match the rtest of the car, but now i can make it match eheh.

 

thats tight, please explain what kind of film youre refering to

 

Hmm...maybe put a dual layer of film? Not sure if that'll work?

 

3m electrocut translucent film. I used orange and red, but they come in a varity of other colors. If http://www.mmm.com is every up, do a search for it to find out who you can order it from. But note, they do come in big rolls and i don't think it would be very economical for one person to purchase. But crazy me, i plan on buying a roll in the future just because i've found some many uses for it. 3m products

Guage cluster is illuminated by amber bulbs, got them from local autozone.

Safest way to take out clock would be to use your fingers. I found it easiest to pull from the lower left corner.

 

btw, how many of you guys think an "amber" kit would be marketable?

 

If reasonably priced with well written instructions for the novice, i would say it'd be as good as RStor's S2k antenna kit

 

so u used orange and red combined to make that color? or wat i'm kinda confused?

 

ok..did u remove the purple filter?

 

Nice post, but...You left a few things out. Like did you remove the purple lens from the clock? Or did you just place the film behind it? And where did you get this film from? An electronics store, hardware store? Seems like you are keeping certain things to yourself on purpose. If your gonna post it up, show some love...Share.

 

 

im gonna try this today..... if only i could find out where to get the film..... I'll try a plastics store around here and keep u guys updated.

 

Dude looks like he ain't goin to share.... He is goin to try and sell these on the market! So he won't tell anymore secret to how he did it.. Oh well. Whoever knows how keep us updated!
