Default Any Trans Am's/Firebirds with a Hyperwhite LED Gauge Cluster?

Looking for pictures of the interior color changed from red to Hyperwhite on the Trans Am's. Seen a few Camaro's and they have a bluish tint. Not diggin' the bluish tint and hoping it would come out white-white on the Trans Ams.

Yeah I have one picture. I'll have to dig it up but I can tell you that you will still have a red color to your gauges. Everything is red and yellow, not white. I'll dig out the picture.

Dammit, that f*ckin' stinks! Is it possible to swap in a Camaro Gauge cluster but add on a Macewen Silver Overlay on top of it? I don't like the extra indentations on the speedo and the RPM's from the Camaro's and wondering if the Trans Am Overlay's would cover it. Get it? I'd rather have the 5 mile increments rather than the 1 mile increments basically. It looks too busy.

i removed the black film. the factory film on my 99. Then i put down silver overlays. Then i went back and used some translucent sign vinyl to highlight some things. Like the "E" on the gas, and the "H" on the temp, the red line obviously, etc etc. And the larger increment indicators on the speedo. I had no film behind the overlays and i used white leds. It turned out awesome. Super bright digital looking numbers and the red line etc was super bright red, like blood red since i used the vinyl thats meant for having light shine through it. I wish i got a pic of it but two days later my car was stolen. Im planning something similar on my 96 though ill post it when im done.

EDIT: btw, if you plan on doing this plan on using LOTS of Glue remover and razor blades in order to get a clear clean shiney piece of glass/plastic.
