I'm still trying to think of ideas on what I could do to my car using a microcontroller.

Disassembly isn't too bad. The most tedious is desoldering the rotary switches for the HVAC and lining it back up through the PCB. The gauge cluster removal isn't too bad after doing it the first time.
This is going to require quite a bit of spaghetti wiring and masking of original pads. You can get 4-pin PLCC2 RGB LEDs. One pin is ground, and the other is positive for each color. Wire all the LEDs to your microcontroller/driver circuit. I guess you can program roughly 255 shades for each color. If you can pull this off, you'll be the LED god.
