EGT since I haven't picked up a WB A/F and would like to know if I'm leaning out. Not so gay of you ask me.
Secretive to me only means that 1) whatever it is really isn't that fast; 2) you don't own anything. That's the ricer mentality that I expect. I've got all mine up there to see. Nothing to hide. Make your own assumptions on that.

oh and secretive is the name of the game if you are a street racer. I would get used to it now, you wont like when you start to actually race instead of sit around in a parking lot. Again, Im assuming, but just based of what you told me.
thats not paint....

Damn man very nice looking. Sorry the gauges are taking forever, I wish the guy would hurry up as well. But sanding down the film is a great idea, how much of a pain in the *** is this? Maybe I will do it as well for the look until Dave finishes the reverse glows.
Did I see something about a Defi BF air/fuel gauge?

Not a BF A/F gauge, but a D-series A/F with a color change
Sorry if a bit off topic, but how do you get this view from a GPS?

All I ask in return is a tripometer button (i lost mine) and fuel and oil pressure faces (i melted mine 
). We can even post a writeup with pictures, since i was far too lazy to do that.

I'll take our Stock Orange over Toyota/Honda Green though.
If someone were to make a kit (although it might not make sense, just a bunch of bulbs I guess) and I had the time I'd do it all white...someday I guess...glad to see it CAN be done though...
