hey guys iv been looking at the custom gauge dials through speed hut and i wanna get one but im stuck on 2 different ones...my interior is black and blue so i figured it go with th reverse EL look so black gauges with white numbers but are blue at night...or go with a white gauges with dark blue front that light up blue at night???..im leaning more towards the first choice because i think it will match more what do you guys think???

The guage face on mine is Silver and as you can see the digits are blue. But the final choice will but what to prefer. I love the way mine look at night. I also switched all the LED's in the window and door locks to blue aswell.

i really like the look of those im think id go with my first option as nothing at all in my car is white so i think it would look really funny with white gauges
...how did you change the LEDs to blue and is there anyway to change the lcd to backlight blue???

Its hard to tell in the pic but the face of my guage is silver/grey. I didn't want white either.

The tach matches the stock look, and theres guages molded in each door (volts and air/fuel) that also match, you can just see the drivers onethere near the top left corner.

You request it when placing the order. And they can make them with either km/h or mph or both.

It screwed me up a bit when I was in Buffalo. But the GPS had a quick fix for that. :D
