nice subtle upgrade, I think there a few to many in the gas/temp gauges but still looks good. :biggthumpup:

Took me a minute to figure out what you did but then I figured it out! Hhahaha!
Looks alright but if I was gonna go that far I would have changed the gauges to light up brigher or sumthin.......

My dream is to have this gauge in my car! :drool:

Looks clean, but for some reason I feel it's a bit too feminine for my taste.. not sure exactly why I feel that way but diamond encrusted anything gives me that reaction.

EDIT- I just remembered what it reminds me of.. girls that put sequins and crystals all over their cellphones when they were in highschool and crap.

Yeah I would love to have some led gauges. I like the subtle touch though.

lol
thanks gents i am feelin the same on the gas gauge.

as for lighting up i have upgraded all the lamps to 55K mcd led's i will be doing one more mod that should give me a real "pure" white glow like the newer Nissan Infiniti, Toyota Lexus cars. we will see how that goes and post the results.

If i dont like it they have some nice overlays on yahoo japan that ill be swapping out.

as for the feminine feel, if your straight with who you are you should be able to rock the hell outa pink, hello kitty, or swarovski crystals and make it look good ;)


not for the night btw... only thing you get is the reflection of the increment lines on the chromed bezels cant see the crystals at all the clock looks hella nice at night w/ the leds behind it tho

Feminum sheminimum...who cares Crystals are the shit and looks cool..Maybe a nice ring around that outer part of each circle bezel would make them stand out more..Like a Rolex Diamon Bezel..

Props for a DIY your way...

I'm gonna have to go with too many in the gas/temp gauge, take off the two that sit next to the pump/tstat thingy. Other than that it looks clean.
