Greetings, I recently sold my 2001 Miata and purchased a Forest Green Metallic 2001 Boxster with 74K on it. Needless to say I am thrilled and feel I have taken a quantum leap forward in terms of my car of choice. The Miata was great in many respects but the Boxster feels so planted and solid....a more mature, refined and capable vehicle in most respects

My first project on the Boxster will be to swap out the stereo head unit and speakers. I have my eye on the Clarion FZ150. In many ways it seems like a good choice as I feel it's design and control layout will be in keeping with the dash design continuum and offer SD/MP3 options to boot. The one down side is that it is illuminated in blue. I am wondering what might be involved in changing it's light to amber like the rest of the dash?

thanks!
