I'm not sure yet, but I think I like them. Yep, I've made up my mind. I definitely like them. Sorry to part opinion guys, but I think I have a thing for cheesy accents.

That would look good on an old-school hotrod, but not on my Camaro...

Yea, they would look good on a old street rod, but not on anything modern.

I bet if you ever had your dash catch on fire you might not like 'em a whole lot.

I don't know I don't think I like 'em and I like a lotta the stuff everyone else seems not to. I'd definantly say though that the white one look a helluva lot better than the other onez.

Hey, bigrobb, did you know that the bottom one is just the top one at night?!? Overall, though, I'd say a bit cheesy...nice idea if you have a better graphic to put on instead of flames. Hmmm.....

Hey, Karsten, nice to see a fellow TFBM'er on the board...It seems that the guages are made of a material that is just too opaque. Perhaps a thinner material would make vision easier.

just go through the steps in the "DIY white faced gauges" and add in the flames, make sure you use a color laser printer
