In total I would say it took me 4+ hours to do. I pulled off the gauge overlays and i used Goo gone to removed any adhesive left on the back of them. Theres some blue stuff on the back of the overlays which makes it illuminate green that I had to sand down. Then I took some colored vinyl and pasted it on the back of the overlay to get the desired colors I chose. I also replaced the stock bulbs with white LEDs.

Yes they are.

Tell me about it. The check engine light is off now. I asked the guy that tuned my pcm to turn it off because the code was minor and it wasn't a manditory fix. As for the SVS, Track off and ABS, its most likely the wheel bearing hub sensor, yet an unnecessary fix. I want to know if there's a way to turn those lights off permanently.(aside from sticking some electrical tape over it lol)

The bulbs are 3057 bulbs. I bought them off ebay. I didnt really notice a difference compared to stock, but I didnt really do a real comparison.

Lose the bra cover on the hood. It will gouge a line in your paint faster than you can say ooow.

One thing I've noticed is that people don't usually run their winter tires on aluminum wheels.

I don't know what you guys do in winter, because I run my aluminum rims all winter long, and I did on my old truck too, and I was never nice to that thing, but I've never seen any negative effects on the rims do to winter driving.
