Remember the UUC Gauge Petition? (Pics, 56k no-no)

RED = WHITE @ DAY, AMBER BACKLIT @ NIGHT


Well, I took matters into my own hands and found a company. I just want to see if you guys, being E30 Owners, like them. This thread is posted here versus elsewhere as I want your tastes. These are what I suggested to the manufacturer that E30 owners would potentially like.

I got over 150 signatures for the UUC petition (Equivalent to Poll option 1), so I want to make sure the interest is still there. Again, this is not committing you to purchasing a damn thing it is just showing what your tastes are.

Any red in the images will illuminate at night, and be white during day,EXCEPT for the inverse white ones, where it will be red.


Oh yeah, shit, I forgot. These aren't just faces, they are backlit electroluminescent gauges.

Well, Let's have it then.

Thanks for the comments. Post any questions below. Cheers!

I don't care for any of the gauge covers on the market, personally. they just don't look right in an E30...

Inverse black/white is my choice.
Stock looking, amber lighting of text at night.

That's right.

I'm partial to the E46 Grey myself.

How are you going to get them to be backlit? That'll be a pretty expensive job to fab up, not to mention a bit of work to install. I imagine most of the dream modders on these boards won't go for that.

No, Electroluminescent, like I mentioned in my post.

The company sells indiglo ones on ebay for about $35, I imagine at the start these will cost $50ish.

Nothing,

But some of us like the cosmetic appeal of purely backlit gauges, with no light going across the whole gauge.

It's a much more "updated" look.

I want Inverse black but can they make them in KM?

If anybody can print one for me, I'll pay $50, and it has to be black with 260km or 160mph but prefer in KM!

Let me know,
:)

I think grey/day black+amber/night would rock
