Anyone done eletric blue faced gauges for a change?

I was reading a copy of super chevy (sept 01 issue) and on page 109 is the coolest set of gauges Ive ever seen. Makes the normal gauges and even the white faced ones look dull by comparison.

I was wondering if any had done anything like this on their own cars? If no-ones seen them when I find my digital camera I can take a pic out of the mag if you want to see them.

I'd take a picture anyway, it's a good way to keep people visiting the thread
I just posted a picture of the gauge I hope to put in my car
The color is wrong but that is meant to be the color paper I am going to buy, also I am going to see if I can get glow in the dark paper

Ok I found the stupid camera and blended to shots of the page so you can read the writting and see the pic fairly well.

If you read the text a little those gauges were for a 70 camaro their working on.

And im not exactly sure why it be rice like to do that... its not like im gonna use stickers or something and magically up my hp cause my gauges are blue.

Anyways, my trucks got a blue interior so I think Ill try it in there first (parents permitting) and see how it goes.
