I've also got one of Greg's post-85 dash foils and have had it for about a year.  For me it solved the problem of my instrument lights not working because I had damaged the contacts on the original blue foil by trying to install the wrong bulbs.  It's a beautiful thing -- the indicator lights are all nice and bright (but not too bright), the connectors are solid and it feels like it will last another three decades.  It is almost identical to the original foil and thus installs within minutes.

Today I picked another of Greg's 'inventions'.  This is an LED replacement for the dome light above the driver's door.  Greg has enhanced it by adding an 8 second delay before it shuts off after you close the door.  I hope to install it tomorrow.

Hey if everyone starts mass-producing just one or two parts maybe we can keep these babies running indefinitely! :)
