Here's What mine look like:



Needles are red.
Speedometer has KM in black, and MPH in grey.
Tachometer has numbers in black, then yellow, orange and red. (So anyone else who drives it knows not to push my peppy little six too far.)

It's really easy to see at night, with the green light covers removed, so it's just factory white lights. Not too dark or bright, just perfect.

SychoStang and Ctubitis,

I was wondering if you guys still have these in your trucks, and if so, are they still holding up 8 years later?

Also, Ctubutis, I cannot get any pics in your posts (this and other threads) to come up. I was wondering if I am doing something wrong, or if you had to move servers, etc and the threads are broken now?

Thanks guys, I think they came out looking excellent! I am the most curious about how Sycho's stood up, since I used to live in Southern Idaho, and I know how harsh the sunlight there is.

Cheers!

Jason832, yours look bada$$ as well!

Everything is still holding up fine but I wish had done more to protect them from the direct sun as some of the Autometer gauges are fading.

My image-hosting provider went to a pay-for model and I haven't paid so they're holding all my images hostage, not sure what I'll ever do about that as there are a fair number of them and re-uploading them to a new provider and then fixing all those posts is tedious and time-consuming and there's a chance it'll never happen, life is too short.

Dude, I hear ya. I would probably subscribe to the bleeping service for the minimum amount of time, down load my info, then cancel the account. Hate it when they do stuff like that. Oh, and if they are going to set it up to auto-renew every month or whatever? I buy a disposable credit card, and use that number. That way there they only get the money I want them to have. (did this with an antivirus company most recently! hehehe!)

I hear you on fixing all your posts, almost 19K worht of them is ALOT to wade thru! I am just glad I wasn't doing something wonky! lol

Cheers!
