I think the only way to really do it would be to pre pay...no exceptions...not the full amt....but 1/2...that way noone gets burned.

Would it be possible to have a second color choice? I like the blue/red but I would like it to match my other instrument lights which are green/amber. I want to keep my SA retro.

Yeah, it would be cool to have orange to match all the other dash lights. Now, if I could just find an orange display aftermarket CD player!

lol...with two votes in the $10 -$20 slot, I can see why Manntis would be jittery going to his boyz with this idea....I say some amount from 25 to 50% deposit to show the Listers are serious....I guess that's the poll I should have constructed instead....

Manntis, you needn't reply to the Email I sent a couple of days ago to your Rotorhead website since DF beat me to the punch...

got a pic of that?

Personally, I am hoping for White guages in the daytime and something spectacular at night. Main reason I want them is for white gauges though
(I'm wanting mine to be a white car/white wheels/and white gauges-to me, that would be the bomb)

We need a new poll on what exactly all of us have in mind here...

I think it would be neat to have a black background and simply have the numbers light up red indiglo. I would settle for the normal style reverse indiglo though. regular indiglo is way too bright in my opinion.

oh boy here we go with everyone wanting different colors. I can't say I didn't see it coming, but this is going to present a problem. Personally I want white backgrounds with blue lettering, maybe red for some little parts, but I wouldn't buy them if the whole thing lights up red. One of the reasons I want these gauges it to get rid of that horrid orange that the stock **** lights up. What kind of color scheme are you thinking of mar3? I guess that question is aimed at manntis also, but since hes not going to make them anytime soon I'm not sure he'll have an answer....

the second one would be the best, bt you still wouldn't be ble to see your mileage at night and you'd barlet see the needles. the third one is the most pratical and the first done is just too godie and to show oriented those dashed under the KM' is gay! imho. i like things that say function then from....

I have the gauges in the middle. The thing you have to remember about these gauges is they are not replacement gauges, they just lay over the stock ones. With the lights on at night, your needles will still immuminate, and you will be able to see your milage with that stupid orange light, but other than that you cant tell you still have the stock ones

Gaudy?? Well, I never!! The middle ones are a bit more sedated, but still acceptable....after all the other crap that's going to be going into the interior, the gauges will have to POP to compete with the finished product!!..

If you leave the needle white, how do you see it during the day?

I agree with 82transam. I like the second and they gotta be blue.
