Re: question about 72 guage panel

No glass.

But I have seen other members on here that have customized the gauges to match the colors of the rest of the truck. So, it can be done.

EDIT: Here is an example of some custom work to the gauge panel.

Re: question about 72 guage panel

yeah mine looks very simular, except i did white faces also (project "dirty burb") check it out i only need the green letters and numbers changed and it would be perfect,,,they are almost etched into the plastic face and unless i have a seriouly steady hand and about 5 hours of patience to paint them, i would but i don't have those abilities....oh well my luck i guess
