i wanna change the color of my guages, temp/gas, and radio all to blue but i don't know how. how much would it cost to get the actual materials and how much would it cost to get it installed. i woudn't even know how to do any of this so i think i would have to get this installed professionally or something. let me know. thanks.

Hey Jason, When you find that out. Don't forget to give me a hollar. I want to do the same, but was thinking maybe white. Not sure. White for the needles and all dat stuff only. White n black or blue n black.

sup people... update on gt-s gauge faces.... i got some test ones to check how opaque they are.... i'm gonna try em out sometime between tonight and the weekend and post pics asap...
i know you guys are itchin to do this, but these gauge faces will make it definately worthwhile, and you'll be alot happier right off the bat

Hey Russ... How much are you going to be selling your guage faces again? I hope the GT guages dont take as long...

I'm hoping to have an introductory price of around the $50 range... but they'll stay under 100..
this will all depend on production costs... so ... cheaper to make.. cheaper they'll sell for.

hopefully i'll have some new ones by then... if not, i can ghetto rig some white faces w/the layer of black a little offset behind the white, or just straight black faces...

well right now, the shop isn't even coloring numbers cuz we're trying to get the background layer down and lookin good...
I've got (right now)
(they both have clear numbers)(but we can make em red easily)
white bg (but there's a layer of black behind it to block light)(the layer of black is a little offset)
black bg (still uncut, untested)(i think everything's lined up properly)
