Looks really good. How much were they and where did you get them?
Is that a gap around the odometer? Or is it just a trick from the lighting in the photo?

RE: my new speed hut gauges
To wind: got them from speedhut since i know people that have gotten them from there and they have lasted for years. They are covers that go over the normal gauges. During the day you cant see any gap, but at night, the light leaks back in to come out around that the gap and it makes a cool lighting effect like a light wrapping around the odometer. If you like the way you look, you'll like um even more in person. Also speedhut lets you customize text and stuff on them if you want. they can do images also, but it costs more money. i think they're around 50-60 depending on what options you get. I would go for the upgraded converter because it's much smaller and easier to mount and look clean (thats the one i got).
To Fiirk: i got white backgrounds just cuz i like um, so since the needles are white its a little harder to see them, but speedut lets you choose the conlors you want for the background and the lighting so you can choose other colors, or paint the needles. I had a really great experience with these. Like i said, the white makes it a little harder to see, but still visible for sure.

a little harder, but definately visible. They're really a much more electric bright blue than the picture would lend you to believe
