Default Does this look bad?

I thought it would look good to have white face guages but now that I see it I'm not so sure...





By the way, this is NOT my car, it's one I found on ebay.

It would certainly take some getting used to. How does it look at night with the dash lights on?

I'm a great believer in stock looks...it is all a matter of what you are satisfied with....I wouldn't do it to mine...for what it's worth.

Oh its not your car! Then :U
The red white and blue looks like hell.

If they chose just black lettering it would have looked a lot better.

I have it in mine and love it. At night is lights up flouresent green and blue with the orange needle pointers over it. But everyone likes different things.

Unique. Never seen that before. I agree it would take some getting used to.
I think it would be a little more appealing if the car were white or interior was white like the 35th ann(not completely sure of the year).

I have 2 kits for 92-96 that I bought off of ebay. I am going to be selling them once I unpack the rest of the boxes (just moved). I got 2 sets because I bid on two different auctions to get them. I think they would look good in the 94-96 Vettes. It doesn't look right with the amber lettering on the 92-93 dashes. That is why I am selling both, instead of keeping one to install. I will get all my spare parts together and post them on the Parts for Sale section soon.
:cheers:

It might look ok in a white car, not sure about any others though. It just doesn't seem to fit the scheme of things very well :crazy:

:nonod: I don't really like it much, but again, it's a matter of taste. If you like it, then it's worth it.
