Awesome setup! I just ordered a set of Frank's 52mm Tri-Pod and bought the new Autometer Nexus Gauges. I got a 52 mm Boost/Vac gauge, 52 mm Water Temperature, and 52 mm Oil Temperature. I'll try and post pictures when they're installed. I hope it turns out as nice as yours!

I'm not going to tint the cluster plastic 
Like you said, I'd have to always have the lights on. And whatever, the water temp is like 210F in that pic. As for the stock gauge, it's not reliable and I probably put the needle back on slightly off-kimber when I was reassembling the gauges.

I took off as many of the red/orange bulb covers behind the buttons as I could. They make the buttons look yellow now, but that's fine until I can pick up some tiny white leds. Same project for the climate controls.

(old thread here).
He did it, it's beautiful. Here's the results.

Yep, pretty nice isn't it Anyway, I decided on the Defi BF series gauges. Beautiful gauges, Defi accuracy, and a perfect fit for my new quad-60mm pod.

i tried to put LED's before when i saw that on the supra forum but i never thought of sanding the red film, props to you that looks very very clean. i have a extra cluster that i tinted but it was not that bright even with the LED's, again nice work.
