Gauges..Post some pics ?

Whats up guys/gals I have been searching through the posts and have seen some nice gauge set up's but no recent enough posts to find any good links to buy some gauge faces or trim rings etc.. So i am wondering would anyone like to school me a little more on some things i could do to mine/what some of you have done with yours? Thanks again..i have a 99 3.0 if that helps.

I got mine from an online vendor, but it looks about right, just no solid glowing inner circle/ring thing

another thing id like to point out RIGHT NOW, is that you ASOLUTELY POSITIVELY NEED the 96-97 set, the 94-95 set works but itll fit wrong, the tach will be off, the speedo will read slightly wrong, and you might snap off the other needles (temp and fuel) since they dont fit properly. . . trust me, I made the mistake since I saw the 94-95 ones were cheaper

it all works the same, I just prefer the look of the OEM styled white-face ones over the S7, I HATE the S7 look

I have that bezel, I combined it with another kit with trim rings, and 5 wide angle LED bulbs

Yepper i used green for my entire car, but you can get blue. I went through 3 sets of bulbs and then got the 5 wide angle and they made the most even color and light distribution

That's cool. White face gauges look great on Maximas so maybe they will look good in a CL.
