    the ac still comes out from the center, I used really fine mesh around the gauges, so it looks like it's solid. I just can't change the direction of how the air comes out.

    they are Defi's, and yes, they match perfectly b/c they are the ones who made the actual instrument panel.

    just buy some 0.25" red bulb covers from partsexpress.com for the radio. But for the HVAC, you need to put in new red LEDs, it's a little trickey as there's almost no room under the knobs. You need to do a little drilling with a dremel.
