White guages?

I have an 88GXL and at first i was looking at the indiglo gauges but after driving the car and seeing that everything in the car is red i decided aginst getting indiglow gauges. Reason being is that it just wouldnt match with the rest of the interior. i mean even the AAs switches are red. and the guages would just stand
out. (look rice)
am i the only one that think this?

I think they'd look like **** too.

Thats why Ive been going nuts trying to find aftermarket gauges that match the stock one.

Just because you get white gauges does not mean they have to be indiglo. There are plenty of gauges that have white faces and use the stock lighting.

I say you use black spray paint and just cover the clear plastic then use the "FORCE" to determine if your low on gas or anything.

Who really need to know how fast your going anyway.
That way you'll have a real excuse for when the Cop pulls you over.
"Do you know how fast you were going!!???"
"No, I can't see my guages."

i got some white reverse indiglo gauges, they dont really match the reddish/orange of the rest of the lights but they dont look out of place and the indiglo blue gauges match with most aftermarket stereos that have a blue digital readout. i really like mine, well while they worked...unfortunatly i kinda broke the control box for them so i have to buy a new set...so be careful haha.

They are talking about the guage cluster, with your tach, speedo, oil pressure, etc...

They should make some cool red or orange reverse indiglo guages, as if those wouldn't look wicked.
