Default My 6LE gauge overlays are installed

Here's a couple of pics of my new 6LE gauge overlays installed. All I have left to install is the gear selection indicator.


I think it definitely adds something to the car.....It actually looks good at night too. Kinda gives it that "more modern" feel.

enjoy....or dont. It's my car.

Oh, and sorry for the cellphone pics.







Here's some more pics.... At night, everything lights up like in the first night pic...but the faces look like all the other pics. The camera really makes it look worse than it is....A LOT worse. Makes it all look spotty, but those are stock bulbs i'm using.... for now.

Oh, and it's really easy to see the needles too.








Here's the most recent pics from 9/8/09 with the LED's installed. I changed all 8 gauge bulbs. The turn signals got green LED's the high beam got a blue LED and the rest are cool white. I'll get some more and better night pics. Oh, the shifter got a "74 cool white" LED as well.

The Gauges arent off center? Looks awsome mike! Reppin PHK everyday... I have the same hvac overlays in blue minus "blow me" and "heaven/hell". They look killer!

Oh and you can get them from 6LiterEater - 6litereaterdesigns.com

Am I the only one seeing it? There is a gap between the bezel and the lines for the speedometer..It's like the overlay should be shifted to the left a little bit.

Now get that damn shift plate installed

For anyone who wants a set, I sell them, completely customized to however you want them, just click on my site and go to interior and then gauge overlays, etc...

That is awesome! the a/c with the icons is great!

I like the MPH gauges that read WTF in place of 150, and such too.
