well i'm neutral. I like them but, I also love the retro orange 80's stock guages. If it weren't red i think i'd like it a tad more.

Guages themselves look good, but the red surround doesn't do anything for me. Also, I'd think they looked a little better if the main numbers were blue and the rest red.

I think the guages look alright but I don't like the red surround, it actually strains my eyes. It might just be the bright glare from the flash though.

Thanks alot man. Is there a way to get them to be white-white at night? Is it just the lighting that causes the yellow tint?

Ya I would like to see some pics of yours at night. See the gauges need to match white-faced GReddy gauges, if they aren't lit up enough they won't at all.

I am doing something simular to you right now. From the dealer I bought a new lense for the Instrument Cluster. Bought the lense which comes with the back plate (can't buy lense seperately comes with plate). I am getting It chromed right now. Actually vacuum metalized Into a shiny chrome appearance. Should look great...
