lol!

most stuff comes out of china anyway - when I get them I'll let you know what the quality's like - but for 96c what have you got to lose?

Ive gotten a couple freebies:
Front bumper chrome surround/chrome wheel arch moulding and the front bumper black out vinyl. Both were left over from other sa members.
As for cheap stuff Ive picked up some led parker globes from jaycar for around $1 each. And I got 4 blue 30cm led strips from eBay for under $5 incl postage.

@erin: - nice swap! - the next 'job' is to track down climate controls for mine...

@shannon: - the reason I asked is I want to do the blue floor illumination, but without the Mitsubishi OEM price tag!

Ah yup. Lots of people have just gotten led strips from eBay or an auto electrical store, like jaycar, and done em themselves.
