white gauges
I have been kicking around the idea of installing a set of white face gauges with the polished bezels. What all is involved and is it too big of a pain in the a** to do it yourself?

That's too cool...

I purchased the Simco gauges from MT and installed them in my car in under 30 mins... big difference. They're white faced with silver paint trim which matches my interior silver trim items. Also the white gauges look nice with my parchment tan interior.
The downside is that the glow is so darn bright even with it turned all the way down; when its pitch dark outside and no street lights (or moon), it does interfere with your vision. I’ve had to drive with my hands between 11 & 1 o'clock just to see the road, would have really sucked if it was raining too…
The upside is it’s a really hot look, and you will learn over time to handle the brightness.

same here, i have the autometer ones, and when you get tired everything gets blurry. I lay my wrist on the top of the airbag holder and hold my hands flat just to block it. Sucks *****, but looks real good during night and day.
