yea Das..that does look good. I bought those indiglo gauges on ebay for like $30 that you just stick on top of your stock ones, but now my temp meter wont read, and my speedometer isnt acurate. the freakin needles stick!!!!..the first set of gauges look pretty good, but yea they are too much.

^^^You need to glue the gauges down better so they won't stick on the overlay.

well now they're not on the overlay, i cut out everything from the stock gauges(SES light, airbag light, signals, etc) and glued them behind my indiglo gauges and stuck em on the cluster. i guess i need to get some 1000 grit sandpaper and sand around where the needles go....to get em to move a lil smoother

theres a guy on xoxide or some other pc mod site that used 1/4" plexiglass and media-blasted it so that it was all foggy looking , and he drilled holes into the sides of it , then stuck the led's in with crystal epoxy , he had three on each side and the plexiglass panel had a lot more of an ambient glow than even small ccfl neons..

just wondering what the backspace clearance is on the gauges...
