white gauges are nice, i dunno about the flames, but it could look good depending on the rest of the interior

They're ok. Just seems like a little too much. Maybe a more subtle flame pattern would look better

I think they might look okay at first, but you'd probably get tired of them shortly.

Yeah I have to say a big negitive on them. The flames stand out to much, maybe if you put them in as a ghost flame it would look better....just my two cents.........clink clink

Not too bad, could be better if the flames weren't as dark IMO.

the white face gauges that you picked are a lot better than the flame thing...

i think the flames look good, but they might kind of be distracting when you are trying to see how fast you are going or something, and i also think you really need to get some gas, your gauge shows that you are about out!
