Fc3s white face cluster...
if you dont install the 12v power, dont expect the original l.e.d.s behind the oem gauge to light up your new gauges, first, you wont see the dayum needle, happened to my *** lol I then had to paint my needles with orange glow in the dark paint

And if I am right that avatar was stolen from me when I was on club4ag all the time, and i stole it from my friend morgan who made it after he started downloading initial d episodes and buring them for me. BTW my avatar FTW.

I can also turn them green. But i got a blue and black scheme going in the car.
if you want to change the color try puting like orange tape around the lights. But arnt the stock clusters orange? why not just get one of those, or just take the face plate off the cluster its on now.

Where did i get them?
Corksport, i actually wanted a completely different set and they sent me those gauges, and every time i try to get things settled with them, they seem to forget about it completely. Look on ebay you'll pay less. Forget about seeing your needles though.

U SEE??? Dat look so Ricerish man... (DAMN BLUE & GREEN) well actually it would look REALLY SWEET if it was orange instead of blue :P i dunno man, I like the design but i think it should be orange instead of blue because it blue or green faces remiond me of those gay *** Ricerish rides like civics integras eclipses neons accords etc with those glowing neons, ugly *** bodykits, huge *** wings (they look like iron tables) etc... YUK! but i gotta admit that the faces dat staticguitar313 & CrypticApathy posted are really nice but dont you guys think it should be orange inseatd of blue or green? I mean the color of the interior of the car is orange (the gauges, the stereo, the AC buttons & display) and if you install green or blue faces it takes that sporty air from the car, unmatching and stuff. My friend has a VW New Beetle and the interior is soo damn disgusting, its colors are red & blue...YUK! RICERISH!!!! :S

Why the hell do need a orange background? Its the same stuff as the blue or green faces. You want orange, why not use the stock gauges with the orange needle? Fo that mad tight stock look yo. Maybe use spell check too jackass. What Dat?

Actully my stero is blue, and i keep the light so dim on my stock gagues that you cant really see the A/C color. I keep the stock light up just enough so i can see the needle while driving. My shift boot is even laced in blue. I have blue and black seats and im getting black/headliner done when i get the swap done. Then im going for a complete carbon fiber dash,center console.

You should check out this fabric called Carbon Fiber Soft. It's vinyl with a very carbon fiber like appearance without actually having to lay CF and use messy resin. It works great for recovering interior plastics and fabrics. I just redid my door panels with it today. I'll get some pics later on. It looks good.

I dont know... in my opinion I think the only way to change the color of the background of my face gauge is getting a switch that can turn my face orange instead of blue or green... BUT WHERE AM I GONNA GET THAT THING??? I dont even think that exist... :S

Im doing the carbon fiber swap though for weight reduction as well. It is my daily driver so i dont wanna make the car look like **** by yanking everything out like carpet and half the dashboard and stuff. But if i can have it look nice and loose some weight in the process im all for it.
