The Best White Face Guages EVER!!!
I saw white face guages on a friend's Nissan where they are white with black digits in the daytime and black with white digits at night. The coolest guages I've ever seen in my life. It does this by only lighting up the digits at night. Anyone know if someone makes these for thirdgen Camaros?
Also, has anyone seen the console clock in white yet?

Hey, everyone come to the Vicksburg Old Car Show (in Michigan) next year, and hold it up for all the Thirdgen owners out there.
e-mail me for directions, dates, etc.

I'm a big fan of the gauges that glow at night too, but the thirdgen gauges are not backlit, so it would be a pretty major project to encorporate backlit gauges into a stock cluster. It would basically require application-specific custom gauges instead of just making some stick-on covers like our current white units.
In other news, I've been considering an autometer gauge swap, and I noticed that in september their phantom series will offer indiglo. With any luck you'll be able to change the backlight color. If so, I'll be making a purchase.

90-92 Camaros have backlight guages Jim. Mine are all red because I changed all the stock blubs to red and added an additional 5 bulbs for better lighting 
They look awesome at night.

90-2 don't count.
I knew they were backlit, but nobody makes indiglo for them either so I didn't bother going into the dash board history lesson.
