Toyguy Modded Valentine Concealed Display install completed, pics

It took about 30-40 hours and 2 months and about $200
LIS4 - Michaeal M from LI is now making them
It took a bit longer than I expected, but I got the modded parts last week and installed today
Hardest part was stripping the vl wire, the copper was so thin, kept on ripping it off when trying to strip with precise dikes (wires were too small for regular stripper

I already had the hardwire done from the previous, ahem, clunky, cluster overhang install, but had to pull the cluster for the umpteenth time to remove the wire
Looks slick

I'm learning the best thing to have when trying to get these mods done is patience

That included some down time for new mute buttons to arrive, as well as replacement of my soldering iron. (new digital iron rock...fwiw)
