Unique and cool-looking. Very nice.
The grammar **** in me wants to point out that "it's" means "it is" and is not the possessive form of "it," which is actually "its." So whenever you say things like "Put the steering wheel in it's lowest position," you are actually saying "Put the steering wheel in IT IS lowest position." You might want to touch up your directions a bit.
Don't mind me, my boss for the past 15 years used to be an English teacher, so you can only imagine the typos I've learned to spot within milliseconds of scanning a page or screen to avoid her red pen...
Great gauges man.

If you're going to correct every error in every post on this board, you're going to be extremely busy.
I fixed it for you

Considering I was typing that at night, with a case of the flu, if that is the most egregious spelling or grammatical error, I consider it a minor miracle.

I applaud the workmanship the ingenuity. The design is gross. There is a reason that lights in airplanes are red and that gauges forever have been white numerals on black back grounds. The less light shinning in your eyes the less you pupils contact the better you can see at night. That gauge cluster is a safety hazard.

It also has LESS lit up area than the factory 2010+ cluster, so clearly Ford is producing "safety hazards" too:

cool to see these have moved forward. going to check out your site and see what V-8 gages you ahve
drove one of those 2011 V-6 rentals for 3 days earlier this month. was hardly a safety hazard. the MyColor is pretty cool. The light output can be annoying, but the light output isn't dangerous

And MyColor can be adjusted for color (such as red) and there's also a dimmer in the car.
If you're driving through the mountains at night, and you need every bit of night vision possible, it's a 2 second task to shift the cluster color to red and crank the intensity down. I did this on occasion even with the stock gauge face.
