All blue with red redline will look real nice.....will it fit my Type S? I was wondering because it has all slots for all p, r, n, d5, d4, d3, d2, d1. VSA and check engine looks all right with me too.

The more I look at the various colors, the more I like #2 (Blue numbers with red markings/redline). So my choices are #2 first, if not #1 (the original) is fine...
If it comes down to it, then either one is fine with me. Thanks Nate!

The one with blue numbers (#2) is cool! This is my first choice. My second choice is the original one. I don't even consider the "all blue except redline" choice.

Hehe, congrats TB69.
I tallied votes for everyone except TB69, evolaerok, and Shyne (sorry guys, but you didn't order the gauges). If you voted for more than one, I counted your first 2 votes. Heres what I found:
All blue except redline: 4
Blue numbers: 12
Original: 8
Kinda distrubing how many votes the original ones got, although 5 of the votes for the original one are secondary votes so original really only got 3.
I really think the blue numbers is the best. In the original the red numbers make red the most prominent color. Lets face it, red just isn't the coolest color. Blue is. With the numbers blue it makes blue become most prominent and it looks better IMO.
Most of the votes were for blue numbers. Is there anyone completly and udderly against going with the blue numbers? If so, please post and/or email me by Thursday night. If not, we'll get the gauges with blue numbers.

To me the second set looks kinda odd becaue the blue numbers are mixed in with the red lines that represent them. My vote is still with the all blue guages. But any thing you guys choose is fine with me and long as i get my guages soon.

On the "blue numbers" blue "H/C F/E" would match the rest of the gauges. It looks kinda cool with the one red tick mark. On the temp gauge, red would depict extremely hot. A blue tick would not suggest heat, but rather cold. Red also usually suggests caution or danger. This would go well with the empty gas tank. In my opinion, everything blue on these gauges would be very low on contrast and wouldn't match the rest of the gauges.
I still vote for the "blue numbers" just the way that they are shown.

Question.. what about the brightness settings of these gauges? Some people don't want extremely bright gauges when driving.. can that be adjusted??
for some contrast.. Red for redline, low fuel, and Hot on the temp.. but everything else blue purplish..
but blue numbers would be aight..

Hell yah Nate! So I see you at least heard me . I'd be willing to buy either the second or the third...aka the red ticks only or all blue...honestly I'm really partial to the all blue but redline. Can you not have both types available? I'm sure you'd attract a LOT more people if you could make at least one other type...it obviously isn't hard for them (I assume that's where you got the pictures from). Talk to them and ask, because I was about to start a groupbuy for the third version, all blue with redline...but as I said I'd be content with #2 or #3. Can I still send in my cash?

We're still fixing some of the other stuff I noticed on the earlier thread, right?
And... don't forget, we'll still need installation instructions as to powering them up...

I ordered 2 units and will be later selling the second gauge to the highest bidder...

Sorry, only the people who participated in the groupbuy will get the gauges. 4IG may make them available in the future, as they have the templates and we can't stop them if they wanted to make more. But those of us that have waited will get ours for MUCH cheaper (remember these are the combo gauges, retail on them is going to be even higher than reverse indiglo) and MUCH sooner.
