White Vs. Black guages

Post by projectmx »

I'm tryin to decide between speed huts black gauges with red number or the standard white indiglo gauges on ebay and the other car places.... i'm just not sure how the black/red ones will look and how readable they will be... or how it will look cause it might be too dark... any constructive advice or opinions would be appreciated

I want to custom order my guages. PINK with little hearts for the zeros and and stars all around tee hee. :wink:


LMAO

JUST KIDDING ! ! !


Heck the red will be easier on your eyes. Heck I might try to get a Black background with blue numbers, that would be something to see.

These be my two cents! Do I get any change?
