Most of it you can do DIY. This guys stuff seems to be brighter, as he puts in more lights.

I had my defi gauges converted from him. It's true that they're alittle bit brighter than stock, but for the most part match up with the tint of the WRX green. I'll get some pics if anyone is interested.

Yeah most definitely! I am planning to get Defi's with the tri-pod gauge and have it converted green to match my interior.
