How about pics of your gauge cluster?? I like what you did, but if the gauge cluster is still green then it'll throw everything off. Thanks for putting the option out there though.

I guess it depends a little on the color of your interior. I have black inside and I favor the green.

the white lights are too bright IMO. the HVAC and radio lights looks great. if you can get the gauge cluster to match, you would be MONEY!

That orange reminds me of the cheap Nissan/INfiniti gauges...

Guess what, they now use the Lexus look for their interiors with Electroluminescent gauges.

How about a blue or bright white hue?

Looks kinda 80s like. I'm think white with a bluish tint would be sweet. Or just blue.
