i have it installed. i like them, except you probably want to change your needle colors. culp is selling good LEDS you can use for doing that right now. i still have the stock green and it looks just a little weird :-/
edit: typo

Thanks! funny thing is i am actually debating on getting those exact gauges LOL. i really want some from speedhut but they are just too much $$$ i don't like the other gauges they sell. if i do get them i am only going to use the 3 main sections and just toss the 2 outside sections that don't even glow as well as get a carbon fiber bezel. --------------------  Call me a traitor!

I think black face might be a bit better since our needles are also white... well unless you paint them..

Since we're on the topic of changing gauge backround's, I have a stupid question. The needle's, rpm, mph, temp and fuel, How do those come off? do they slid off? Im just wondering cause I had a bad experience with a previous car that I had, the **** snapped off.

I've got the ones with the black faces from procarparts, can see pics here in this thread.
http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=42984&hl= I didn't remove the needles, the faces just slide overtop of the existing needles, and I used thin double sided tape (like carpet tape) to hold them down to the old gauges. Took about an hour from start to finish including wiring.
