THe have a green and blue indiglo but i need to buy one of those add-a-fuse thingies before I can wireup the back light. I will post pics when it is totally functional. Heres the pics

    Can't see the before pic, but the after one looks good, I suppose I'll have to fit mine at some point. How do your needle come off, was there a grub scew or something? mine seem to be glued on & I'm worried about forcing them.

    :edit:

    The before pic seems to be working now.
    And you say people actually pay money for M$ Windows?

    Total re-design underway: on the whole progress is very slow as the car is taking up too much time :)

    Yup, I did the same thing, same car, same kit. It looks nice at night :-). Certainly worth the $35 or whatever.

    Granted the indiglo is a bit ricy, but you cant call them rice because the faces are white. Afterall, the 2003 cobras have the same gauges - the indiglo (they are just a green color).

    I keep them turned down at night so they dont mess with my eyes. The indiglo is cool, but i REALLY like just the plain white faces.

    Rice is the **** look way better. Unless you racing why not get an import. Plus new american cars are much better than imports maybe old mustangs, charger, gto, ect.

    Not sure to take that as "Rice is ****" or "rice looks way better".
    But I do agree with the second part of your post, I love classic muscle cars.
