    Someone was selling the faces for about $70aus on DTM aus, try a search for the thread and they were in Sydney. They look excellent imo.

        The GaugeCo covers look awesome during the day, look like shit at night. I swapped mine back to stock for that reason.

          I did the print-out white face gauges about 2 summers ago and they still look fine with no fade. However, I am about to switch back as the 4 "fireball's" at night are getting old an annoying.

              Yeah, all my original gauge face templates are included on my CD. You can use them as is, or modify them to suit your needs.

                  planning on replacing the lighting behind the guages so it glows blue, matching my headunit... :)

                        And almost impossible to do. The cluster has bulbs with an orange housing that uses orange dyed plastic "routing" refelctors. Put a blue bulb instead of a regular bulb and you get a very dim green color.

                          Thus, you buy indiglo gauges.

                              cheers to the amber head unit
                              i think orange is the best cluster color
                              not hard on the eyes and it's not ricey like blue and green are
                              IMO anyway
