Remember that the Speedhut guages are switchable from Blue to a Teal Green. The green is a little darker than the blue. I prefer the blue but now I have to start switching my dash lights to blue LED's. I will start with a deck. Anyone switch there lights to change the green to blue?

I could, but i haven't decided what color lighting i'm gonna go with inside the car. Right now i've got grean leds and neon, but i might switch it to blue this summer. So i'll just hold off on gauges til i decide on that.

SO I finally picked up my gauges from ZTW and had some spare time on Saturday and since everyone was at Darkpuppet's place working on his gauges I had to install it myself :P install went fine. You don't have to remove the needles but you have to be very careful if you're doing the slide over trick. tried to change the LCD to blue but it's too dark to notice it. I'll have to redo it which is fine by me since I need to do the needles anyways.

I also did some painting, I was hoping the gauges would match the trim pieces better but it's close enough.

Looks good man, great job. What paint did you use on the door panels? I like the colour contrast between the 2 panels. Are you going to change all the LED's on the dash board switches like me? I will give you pointers if you need them.

Nice work.
