Default Custom Gauge Face installed

Here are some pictures of a gauge face I made. I really didn't like the look, or the green, of the OE gauge face the HUGE grade-school numbers and all those markings.
This is what I designed, I also eliminated the PRNDL readout window since my car is a 6 speed. At night it's white with a slight orange tint, the LCD readouts are still green.
I also painted the needle barrels and the silver plastic around the stalks (for the odometer and clock) flat black.

I think that is a neat and simplistic job, well done.

I'm with xfire on this one, I'll be very interested in one with the PRNDL readout visible and the same green color as the stock dash if possible. I use green interior LEDs in my car and would like to keep it the same tone. Would it be possible for you to make some of these for members?

Whatever happened to this thread? I was looking forward to getting one of these babies. I have one bulb in my dash behind the speedo that doesn't always turn on when I turn the headlights on and I have to tap the dash for it to come on. I'm thinking of pulling the dash apart anyway to get that fixed so I'd love to put in a new face gauge for the car.
