black cat custom gauges

Does anyone have any of their regular gauges?

At night, just the black part (numbers and what not) will be whatever color you choose right? Not the whole thing like indiglos? I'm looking at their green set trying to see if they will match my white with green backlighting greddy gauges.

Also, are there any seams in the gauge face? I don't like the nr auto ones because you can see the seems at night when the lights are on.

Thanks in advance
Jeff

no just the guages, not the carbon fiber.

i have a set of black cat custom and they seem like good quality. Although, i have not seen the NR. I ordered a set of silver face with orange backlighting from him.

it is not going to be indiglo, at night, it will be exactly like the stock ones.

the guy is great and he offers great support. Only thing is that lately, he is taking very long to answer e-mails, i don't know why. I suppose it is better calling him.

Interesting I might be buying a ste of these for the hell of it .Also FYI mmrauto.com can make custom reverse light el glow gauges to any color. I e-mailed them about making some Fd guages. They do not currently make them but if enough requests were made they probably wouold.So go and bug them with an email www.mmrauto.com

thanks thats what I was looking for. When your all done, are all the light besides from the stereo changed over? It looks that way due to having the center pic there.

yeah well you can change the a/c control also which is pretty cool but it is one heck of a job. I haven't tried it yet, i probably will this week since my car is still in the garage because of winter.

but yes all the lights should change color, at least, where you changed the gauges. But putting them orange will look like stock at night.
