Looks good I think. I like the matched gauge faces.

Ricer mod or not, that looks good. Matches everything quite nicely!

Pete, I actually just saw that. No, I print out dozens for my co-workers. 1 in particular!

I liked it in the pic of just the cluster, but in the truck I'm not so sure. :? There's a lot of dark in the dash, and the gauges don't really offset it much. Theydo match really nice though.
Funny thing is, I was thinking of a set of these myself since I added another white faced accessorary gauge. The white gauges outnumber the black ones by a lot! :lol:

Thanks for the props fellas.
Mr toombs I think the same about there being to much black. I'm thinking on painting the black piece with the turn indicators silver to offset it. What ya'll think?

Mr Ellis, are they the silver or white? I can't really tell on my monitor. I was looking at mine today and was thinking that painting the area you are talking about would be much better.

They are the silver w/ a metalic flake. They match the ultra light guages and diesel autometer guage perfect.
I'm still debating on painting that piece. I have to take it back apart anyhow because I've one dash light not working

When you get the dash lights fixed could you take a night time pic? I like them, just doesn't seem right to me against the fake wood trim, which I'd personally paint flat black.jmo
