Blitzkrieg......your posts say that the white gages overlay the warning indicators and shine thru.....could you please post pics at night time maybe showing one (like maybe seat belt, bright lights indicator, low fuel/check gages) shining thru....? Hopefully these are the only warning signs you'll ever get! Thanks......

I wish I could post a pic for you, but my car is sleeping for the winter. I can show you in the spring, I am from Tinley Park and I am in your area often!

But if you want to take my work for now, it looks really nice having them all white, looks clean, low fuel is about the only one I ever see lit up!

If there was one that said "Slow Down" I would have to remove the bulb as it would always be on!

I was hoping the one on my car that says "Giddyup" would be visible!



Welcome to the neighborhood.....mine's hybernating too so I've been modding my Jeep now. But with all this 60 degree weather and the vette staring at me while I'm working on the Jeep, I can't stop thinking about more projects like this for it....How hard/long was the install of the rings and gages. I've read that you also have to remove the center counsel as well. If so, I'll probably also do a new shifter, shifter boot, and possibly a double din.......damn this fever

I learned my lesson about 5 years ago when I kept my car in the garage, I couldn't stand to see it sit there everyday all winter long, now I keep it at a buddies shop on his showroom floor 20 miles away! It helps ease the pain as I try to forget about it during the winter, but it does"t work.

I still managed to spend 3k on winter mods though, better than 18k last winter! We should hook up in the spring for a beer?
