Custom Blue Gauge Faces Finally In W00T!

Here in the process of installing my custom blue gauge faces. The tachometer is on the car already and the speedo is in front of me. Putting it back together so I can get outta here. I'll snap pics in a couple minutes when everything is back in its place.

Picture Time!

Sorry it took so long. Went out as soon as the speedometer went back in the car. My only complaints with the gauges is that at night, there aren't dead spots, but spots that don't like up as much. This is due to the diffusement as there aren't many LEDs so the spots further from the LED need less diffusement. But oh well. Another complaint is the color, it isn't as dark as I had hoped (wanted to match the Lapis Blue seats, carpet, and alcantara boots).

Well, here they are:

Meister Gauge Faces. I worked with Dave Meister, the owner, to get my gauges done almost exactly how I wanted them. 'Almost' because I changed my mind on a few things right before he started making the gauges, but my guess is he didn't read the e-mail until after he had already started. No biggie, they still look BADASS. Great Guy.
