Working with XtremeVette on some custom faces with bezels--his are electro-luminescent. I've been considering using a Ferrari motif, with all guages in standard black and white and the tach in yellow and black. He p/med me that he had done something similar to that for someone on this forum (named Greg). Any pictures out there to see the results? THX.

He's actually doing the same setup for me but in Red. I haven't installed them yet I only have proofs. Would love to see your setup. BTW, I'm not Greg. Bob

Would love to see the new faces on the actual instrument panel - post up some pics when you do the install.

I've got proofs from him also--I'll have to figure out how to post here, but will post pictures later when finished. I'm planning on buying a NOS cluster and sending it to him and let him install the faces, along with bezels. He charges like $75 to install the faces and $15 for the bezels. Total cost with shipping, installation and electronics will be $485. His name is Jeff Aldrich and he goes by XtremeVette on this board. His e-mail is etremevette@hotmail.com and he's a really nice guy. The cluster is coming from a member here:

The look I'm going for is:
