I have the chrome one on my Cougar, really nice piece.

I Think I have the Chrome, on mine. I bought it from those Fire and Ice guys too.
It looks pretty nice in the car, its like having a mirror on the gauges so I get scared sometimes. [Image: tongue.gif]

I've been thinking about changing my gauges to blue. How did you do it on your's?

I did it in school one day (i was bored) so its been 4 years or so so im kinda vage on what i exac tly did.
took the cluster COMPLETELY apart, al the gauges came out, took of fthe needles and faces. carefulyl peeled the blcok vynial off the plastic face, and then for about 2 hours, usign a razor blade scrapped off all the adhesive and then the white and green colored paint. and cleaned them, then paited the back of them usign a partly transparent blue paint. (blue basecoat is what i used sinc eit is partly transparent).
then took all of the green colored blulb lenses off and installed hyper white "194" light bulbs. put it al bakc togetrh and tra laa! blue colored numbers. now its been almost a year sinc ei driven this car and i belive that the 50-75 was kinda dim and so was another part on the tach were the bulbs dotn light up the nubers fully. i cant rmeber ill let you know when i take a shot of the lights on tonight!
but that was it, just tiem consuming.

I like the second picture best, if I was gonna do it. Personally I think it's a little too much... I'd rather have chrome accent rings around the gauges or paint the lip around the gauges silver. I think that'd look good. [Image: smile.gif]
