anyone have apexi gauges?

i'm looking for some pics of any of the apexi EL gauges if anyone has any. i'm really trying to decide whether i want the white face, black face, etc. but i dont know which color backlighting any of them have. i've seen an indiglo white gauge, a red needle white gauge, etc. so i'm really needing some pics! thanks in advance

Ive seen some Apexi gauges in an STI this kid has around my are and they were the white faces.. and the back light was a blueish color.. not deep blue, just had a slight tint of blue to it.

If you are going for something to match the interior you might think about Defi's stand alone gauges.. I posted a pic or two of them..






I know the gauges are messed up, they were not hooked up yet. I think these gauges best match our orangeish lighted interior.

HKS does an excellent job with their older compound gauges as well. Spot on for the FC interior. Same black background, exact same font color and light up in the dark is the same. Dead on match.

I say HKS old school gauges to. The hash marks and numbers are orange during the day time and light up orange at night.

i'm gonna put the gauges in the idiot light area since my plastic piece broke. i have my 60mm greddy boost gauge and my SAFC there right now and it works pretty well, but i'm gonna try to put 3 nice apexi gauges there to replace the greddy and safc. damn these electronic gauges are expensive!

i'm really checkin out the black face apexi EL gauges. i THINK that the black face ones only light up the letters and have red needles.

I was thinking about throwing those on the TII also, I hear the Apexi gauges are really worth the cash.

yes thats what i hear as well. the greddy gauges are high quality as well, i just wanted a boost gauge that will read in PSI so i dont have to divide everything by 14.22 every damn time i look at my gauge
