Carbon Fiber Guage Faces
Ok, I found a place that can make carbon fiber guage faces for $39 bucks shipped. The face can definatley be any color you want but will not light up. The numbers light up so I am pretty sure that the only color you can have is orange. I am thinking about getting a set of carbon fiber with orange writing and perhaps modding the text and what not on the face, I believe it can be done. The thing I like about this over the whites is that it will look unique and still match the rest of the orange in the car and not stand out as awkward (whites are cool, but they just dont look right to me in the all black and orange dash). And I am 99% sure that nightime visibility will be exactly the same. Please let me know if you are interested and I'll see what I can come up with. So far all I have templated for are 87-88 t2's. If you want another models guages you will have to find a template to provide.

Since the Guages arent made yet I dont have any pics of them but heres the place that I found that will make them. You can see the CF in some of the pics, looks good to me. Ours would be the same, but the writing would be in orange. I'm sure I could have anything removed/added that we wanted, but anything we added would not light up at night. These guage faces will only use the stock lighting, they are actually just cutout around the numbers. Sounds kinda ghetto to me but the pics look awesome. Any other color you wanted you could get but i cant really think of anything else that would go with the orange.
