I just put the reverse indigolo guages in last weekend. They have the silver background. I really like the results, much easier to read. I do have afew small issues though. I neglected to leave the stock pieces in for the warning lights so now they are white and really bright. I'm also getting some light leaking out around the outside of the guages. It's a very small amount but still noticable. I think I just need to seat the bezels better or stick them down somehow.
I used a little glue to hold them onto the original guages and took my time to line everything up just right. I changed the color of my turnsignal indicators while I was in there and painted my needles red with some Tamiya model paint (clear red, X-27). I wanted my odometer to stay white but have red needles. I put two coats of the red on and it turned out a little dark. I think when I take it apart to put the warning covers back in I'll clean it off and airbrush on a lighter coat. |
