faceplates are white-clear color, tinting glass is black which doesn't change color. But I had green hue as well when it was stock. I guess faceplates have very little green hue on them that I didn't really notice but then again look at this pic when cluster was bone stock it looked white? 
It's been done before in blue and pure white, pics are here: http://lextech.org/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=1
Unfortunately I do not recommend you do anything to the dash unless you just stick some colored tint over it or something. The Omnitron dash illumination control and the CCFL's work together with the stock ballast to auto adjust the intensity.
Doing any changes screws up the balance, that's why LLS never supported the GS after the experimental cluster was built. You can look at the pretty pictures though.
Unfortunately that's all.
The problem with the GS is that the COVER that is plastic and goes over the gauges is green, so changing the faceplate tint cover on the gauge itself will hardly help.

That's weird but I didn't find anything that will make cluster green faceplates are white-clear color, tinting glass is black which doesn't change color. But I had green hue as well when it was stock. I guess faceplates have very little green hue on them that I didn't really notice but then again look at this pic when cluster was bone stock it looked white?

I guess yellow has to go, it was experimental color anyway, I wanted to see how it will look if I'll stick to this technique. Next week, when I'll have time I'll change it to orange, since that's what kind of look I was going for.
