Received a massive surprise in the mail today!

Much to my surprise I got home today and found the EL-Tape and inverter I paid for in November sitting ontop of my mailbox. SAZedBoy finally came good. I'll test it when I have time, and tell you all if it works. Hopefully it won't end up like many of the others have.

Also hoping that I don't break the rear panel when I install it, like many others have.

 

good luck dude and dont forget

:worthless:

when its complete

 

No problem, but I'm working 3 days a week and doing uni full-time, so I probably won't have time until I graduate in June. The initial plan was to do it over the Christmas break

 

yeah i broke 2 panels before i got it right , to much heat and melted the first panel , not enough heat and cracked the 2nd panel , just right heat on the 3rd panel and dah dah . just get the hang of it and will probably never need to do it again , lol .

at 250 a center panel??

 

if you pay $250 for a centre panel then you have brain damage, most people sell em second hand for about $20-40..

 

yes what nick said ^^

for $250 youd be looking at one with the light already in it .


.

 

so this wasnt a 2k spec?

sorry for some reason i thought you were doing it to a brand new 2k spec center

 

You've got me worried now...

 

Jeeze better late than never I suppose, why he cant explain his actions at least to you is a mystery though

 

perhaps it wasnt his fault , perhaps they have been misplaced in the mail, there has been cases of mail taking years to get delivered , did you read the new about a letter taking 90yrs to get delivered , lol , ;

youll be right just take your time , my tips

1. dont use oven , heat gun or hair dryer is better , to avoid melting panel

2. dont pull lenghtwise only pull side on to avoid cracking panel

ps : dont forget undo the 4 little headless screws first of all .

Thanks for the tips, I'll write a post about it when I get around to it

 

Who knows, but I've got it now, so thats all that matters. A little more communication from him would have been nice, but it's all in the past.

 

Hope it's the right colour.

 

It is the right colour. I just tested it, and it does work, however it is a bit of a pinky red which sometimes happens with these things. It also makes a ringing noise, but hopefully it won't be noticable when installed in the back. Otherwise I'll try to insulate it somehow.

 

mine made a rining / buzzing noise until i had it held in place, as soon as i started taping it in place the noise got less noticable and once it was completely taped it tightly in place the noise went away altogether.

check the postage date on the package, it might have been lost in the mail , ya never know :mad2:

 

I thought about that too, but it didn't have a date
