Moderators...please do not combine threads so that these images are easier to find.....Thanks

I have installed the Blue Face Plate I got from www.cockpitspecialties.com I took some comparisons between the face plates, OEM silver on the right, new blue on the left, as well as the backs to show the different levels of shading to further and evenly difuse the light. I think they did a great job adn the line up of the lighted areas is amazing. I have not done the speedo yet, but will when it is light outside and warmer, it is about 12 degrees outside and my garage is only about 40 degrees right now, so I am done for the evening. There are more pictures in my gallery for those that want to see high res images of the face plates. I have been waiting 3.5 years for blue face plates, and these are AMAZING!!!! Enjoy the pics and feel free to ask me questions.

The last pic shows the difference between the new tach plate and the OEM speedo while lighted for side by side comparison between the 2. Not bad IMHO.

 

Those look really nice, I was thinking of getting the Black ones

 

looks great i am in

 

Damn!!! Can't wait till they get the chrono done.

 

Installed mine last week

 

Very cool looking.

 

Those are very cool!

 

got the speedo done, total time is about an hour....would have been shorter, but my hands are freezing because it is wicked cold in the garage this morning. I will take a better night shot/lights on shot when it is warmer sometime next week. Too cold and hungry for breakfast to set up the tri-pod in the car at the moment, but these will give you an idea. I but off the 2 little tabs where the needles for the gas and coolant temp are, so the LED lighting can get through there, when I tested it before re-assembly, I noted that the needles are a bit darker than they used to be, so I trimed it up about half way of the total tap, mid hole for the cut line, and they work well as you can see in the pics.

 

excuse the car, it has been snowed in since the first Denver Blizzard, but I wante to show a comparison of the face plate and the Indy Blue paint. There is a lot of dust on the car, but whatcha gonna do when there is snow piled up 3 foot high, 10 foot wide and 45 foot long behind it? can't wait for spring to get the car out for a drive. Next week, the rest of the interior comes out as I am going to be doing a custom interior with leather and other trim to reduce the amount of cordoba beige, and tie in more blue/black/chrome.

 

Indigo,

Those gauge faces look INCREDIBLE. Wow, I am seriously amazed at how nice those look. The shots showing the ext color of your car and the gauges look gorgeous.

Thanks for sharing!!!

 

The gages really pop out! Maybe it's the flash, but the gages look a couple shahdes lighter then the indy blue looks. I've got a hyper blue w/white stripes. I've also got the body-color interior and chrome trim. Now I'm seriously thinking about the new dials. Thanks for the pix!

 

the official color of the dials is HYPER BLUE....not Indy Blue. So, they are lighter, but close enough for me. I also have Lapis Blue seats I added....see my gallery for details, and those are different than the Indy Blue. It all blends, so I am happy.

 

Jon, IN-F-ING CREDIBLE!!! You are the master!!

 

Wow...gorgeous!!!

 

So.........any chance of a how-to on these?

 

This is a freaking cool mod! Thanks twister and 03indigo for sharing. Can't decide if I'd get the red or the black for my car. The interior is all anthracite (headliner, too) so that might be the right look.

Those look nice!

 

If they did purple, I'd be game.

 

got to he www.cockpitspecialties.com , look at the links on the left side, they already have a write up in PDF format....

 

Wow, those are awesome!! This might be my next mod. I've read their instructions, but how difficult is it to really do?

 

Admins,

Please lock this thread and remove it from this server. I can't stop staring at the gauges and it is making me jones...

 

piece of cake, not hard at all. The hardest part was that my hands were cold, so getting them to move the way I wanted them to was the hard part

 

cool~

 

Wow, that is awesome.

Now I want one, but they don't make British Racing Green, so I guess they'll have to custom make one then.

 

The blue on blue is nice. I have a hyper blue and white cooper myself. Im thinking about getting the black faces myself, I ordered a blue scroth harness so I figured that would be to much blue in the cockpit, Im also blacking out alot of thing, wheels, grill, side markers, fender markers and all the chrome so I figure why not the gauges
