is the needle as close in color as it looks? i think you need to change needle color, some kind of yellow or something? it blends in with the flames to much i think, otherwise i like it

I would have to agree with DanoDMano. I would prefer stock gauges, but that is just my opinion. It's your truck so build it to fit your taste. If you like it, that's all that matters.

I like it. Looks like something I'd do. But definitely change the needle color to yellow

Wonder why Lowblazer doesn't visit here....hmmmm

thanks all, needels are the same color, I might change them I dunno, I'm deffinatly gonna re do te lens. all I did for lighting was 194B lights, the whole inside of the dash is gloss white as wheel. I didn't know if I painteda couple up if anyone would be interested in one or not.
