lol, I had to go back and forth between the pics for 30 minutes just to notice.

I guess it looks sporty, but my eyes would get tired of it while driving.

But then, everything has to be judged in person to be correctly judged.

Well DJ, looks like we had them fooled haha

My personal opinion is that it is kind of cheap looking like this. It reminds me somewhat of those Civics with painted dashboards. I think it would look great if the bezel part were in stainless steel or something like that, but painted, it just looks kinda.. meh.

Thank you again for your work. It looks real.

I actully did it to my Integra in the 90's and it looked very nice at night. Since my car is white I thought I'd do it again.

Please, I need everyone's input before I do it.

Don't think it fits the car, but it is your car and if you like it then that is all that matters.

Eh... painting gauge clusters is kinda ricey to me... I might say sure it matches better... if there were anything else in your interior that was white...

I think it is OK as long as the owner likes it! I would make it to Black CF!
