I like it. You need to paint your needles red, or some other bright color to make them more visible. They are sorta hard to see with white on white. Looks good though! Nice work!

That's the SRMotorsports set. They stopped making them, so I was stoked to find a set here a while back. Is yours new?

I didn't like the reverse glow as much b/c I felt they would probably be too bright during night driving.

They were around $55 with shipping.- they did take 13 days to get here on a 3-5 day shipping charge, so I was pretty upset!!

But they are well worth it.

Dude! We missed you Sunday. I was hoping you would make it down. The gauges are sweet. I would probably paint the needles black. Make them really stand out.

I know, I posted a forum the other day b/c it started spuddering really bad.

I wanted to go, but I would have been crazy by the time I got there b/c of all the bobbing back and forth for 20 miles.

I will be there next month-CANT WAIT!!!

I wanna chuck mine out the window,cant stand the fact that the needles arent visible at night......but I HATE the stock black/orange stuff,so I will hold onto mine for the time being.When I do chuck them out the window,I guess someone will be there to catch them,since it appears they are well liked.......

I don't like them imo... wouldn't match any of the other interior lights and I love the orangeish-red color guages on my 83 GSL.

Your eyes suck at blue. The focal length isn't good for night time viewing.
