Wow -- you've got a good start in the mods department already! That sucks the previous owners trashed so many parts inside your car. I hate that at the junkyard too -- someone wants some part, and they just rip the crap outta anything that's in their way. If they'd use even two brain cells to stop and think, that even though their ignorant self doesn't need a certain part, the next person might actually be looking for that one! Grrrr.
In looking at the picture of your clock, if you can find a thin, frosted piece of plastic and place it between the LEDs and the clock display, you can get rid of most of the "hot-spot" look of the LEDs showing through. Looking good, though! Keep up the modding, and enjoy your car!
That's a good idea. I'll start a thread for that.
