Default White Gauges?

Does anyone have white face gauges? Before I never really liked them but now I do. How was installation?

Please post some day and night pics if you have them.

Thanks

Jackj - Your gauges faces are different then EG's aren't they? I'm looking for just plain white face gauges that do not light up to go with my Red tinted lens. Where did you get those???????

Tim

PS I like that carbon fiber trim too!

Honestly I'd buy white face gauges if the letter weren't grey. I wish they were solid black.

I did that in PSP after I scanned the faceplate from my spare IPC. I'm in the process of either finding someone to make these for me OR making them myself. DesertDawg is helping me out...

The problem is the factory UV lighting, it really mucks things up at night.
