Default Raptor Shift light

I have a 3x black vert and thinking of adding the Raptor shift light.
My questions are:

1) What color do you think I should get (Red, Blue, Green or Yellow)?
It's all black with no painted calibers or accent colors anywhere at this point.

2) Where are the best spots to mount the light...any pics you can post on where you mounted yours would be greatly appreciated.

I prefer blue, but then again I'm biased. Ive seen the light mounted in the a-pillar with the guages. You probably don't have those. It's a clean install with no exposed wires if you do that. I'll check for some pics if I can find some.

Thanks Antvette....Blue is what I have been leaning towards...also thought red because it grabs your attention...then again..green is different!

Any othe pic and links would be great!

Where did you get the Pillar pod? Were you happy with the quality and did the tecture/color match up with the rest of the OE interior ?

That was the pic i was trying to explain. If I ever go to a 6-speed in the future I'll have mine like that. You can get a 2 or 3 guage pillar at www.rpmoutlet.com. I got my triple pillar there and I love it.

Thanks to all!!!!

I am adding mods like crazy since the weather outside is frigid...perfect time.
I made a dyno pull before ANYTHING was done to the car and will do another pull in a couple of weeks when its done. (324.0 on a MD dyno).

I hope my wife doesn't look at the checking account anytime soon!
The shift light will be a nice touch!

This forum is great, but might be the end to my married life
