Default Custom guage face, MBA billet, shift light, part deux ! pics

Just posting some pics of the final results. Changed all of the cluster lighting to LED's including all the small service lights and electronic flasher to correct the load on the blinkers. I would definitely tell anyone who is thinking about attempting this on a 93-97 firebird to ask me question to save yourself alot of headache. Their are quite a few pitfalls on firebirds to get the entire guage cluster to operate on LED's, even the sockets that hold the LED's are unique on the 93-97 birds. I finished doing the install of everything ( LED's in guage, blinker & service lights, red & black custom guage face panel, MBA billet guage bezel (polished & cleared), new lens for guages, installed some of the MBA billet HVAC and Light controls (polished & cleared), Shift Light bullet (RED LED's), installed the AEROFORCE tech interceptor guage (completely working now, I really like this guage) PONTIAC special edition logo on startup with a custom carbon fiber ring holding the guage). I have taken a bunch of different shots and I am pleased with the results (especially at night ) ,but the process was very arduous ! ughh....

PICS:

You know usually I would say that looks awesome to any one else, but I and pretty much every other LT1 guy expect that from any thing you do to that car to be super clean and well thought out. Exceptional work as always.

Bizzzatch 350,
Thanks for the comps as usual. I think the red would look nice with your car

That looks awesome man. im loving the red guages .. But what color does it light up? Also, i have green LEDs behind my cluster. Does this red overlay have the red tint to it like all firebird **** ?

some chrome ac vent rings would really help your interior out. The members name is BOYD i believe. Do you have any night shots? Id really like to see it all lit up. I custom did my whole interior lighting to half red half white like my audi tt it looked killer id like to see other members'.

I've been trying to decide whether I should do the A/C vent rings ? I'm still undecided, I don't like the idea of permanently bonding the rings to my factory vents (that is what I was told) .


No JUICE,

Just for you a link to the install with pics and descriptions.

Agreed, I have been waiting for someone to produce some red gauge cluster kits for years now with no luck. I never really understand why GMS made a blue 200mph speedo but yet never attempted to try their hands on selling some red ones. Either way someone really needs to get these into production!!
