How long did it take you to get your order from him? I'm going on my 4th week now with no tracking number.

Hmmm, that's strange. I got my dash kit on the second group buy with SRT forums within a week. Have you contacted them?
If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...

That's the only reason why I don't want to get one. I dont' like the idea of the damn thing staying on all the time.

Did your LED fit in without modification? I think I'm dunna have to run some leads form the sockets to both ends of the tube.
