Default Should I...opinions wanted

Hey guys well i have a 00 black ws6 and I have white face guages and I am thinking about getting some white accents that a place sells. They go where the a/c ***** are and where the lights are. If u have pics of this done then please post. But what do u guys think. should I do it or not????

I like the look of the white face gauges but I think that the accents might cheapen the appearance of the interior. Though I would have to see a picture of the kit to make an accurate assessment

ill try to go get a picture, i have it on my car, its pewter, i dont think it looks bad, looks nice at night especially, its a toned down color, not as bright. during the day, doesnt bother me at all, i wasnt sure if i would like it, but it looks good now that im used to it

heres the pic, not a real good one, but it gets the point across. ignore my crazy hair in the mirror, i just woke up a few mins ago

So you already have the ***** in? I think what the other guy ment was a pic of the kit you where talkin about. Not your gauges.

Rather do CF and make it subtle. But if you do it right it'll look awesome. I like how STK and dd have theirs done. Not too over the top and cheap.

thanks, it came with my guages as a package deal, so i figured id install, if i didnt like them, id take the off. but in the end, they were subtle enough for me. at first glance, i see where you guys say its a bit too much. i said the same thing when i had them layed up against there before installing, but then i put them in. and it really added just that little something to it. it tones down the light during night time and during the day, its just a little extra style if you will. but again, its all up to you, im not gonna say do it cause i have it done, if you like the way mine looks, do it, if not, dont bother. its all about what you want in the end, i just supplied the pic. i wasnt trying to win any of you over with it, just showing what they look like fully installed.
