The only problem with these is if you disconect all of the factory lighting, there's nothing to iluminate the needles. You need to keep the lights that are above the gauges which kinda takes away from the effect.

Someone's already bid on this one, but if you're patient these guys will re-list when this auction is over and you can get it cheaper.

Or, if you're in a hurry, bid away!

He He... RICEBOY!!!

You should've bought my clear tail lights from me.

I've seen some of those gauges in other ads and they usually look a lot more silver than that, I think it's a bad pic.

I only see domestic car aplications on this site.

I've seen some that a H-T member was making. he was basically tearing apart a set of gauges, scanning the stock faces on a flatbed scanner, using Photoshop to change the coloring and paterns to pretty much anything you want, then printing out new overlays on glossy paper.

No "indiglo" but customizing possibilities are endless. and since our gauges have the light shinning down on them from above, you can still see them at night.

Ah, another victim to the non-removeable temp and gas needles. you're supposed to slip the new faces over the needles (not easy, but take it slow and it will work)

what's up with the "racing fuel only"?

your gauges look white in the picture too, are they a darker silver in real life?

Hey Mike, Don't forget the stainless bezel man:
