Default Anyone else hate the white face gauges?

They look like somebody printed them at home on their inkjet printer!

The GT500 cluster looks much better. Anybody making black overlays for the gauges?

+1, I hate them too. That's why I like mine so much better. I like white numbers on black backgrounds, ALWAYS. I'm glad I bought my Dodge Ram when I did also. When they changed the body they too went to that ugly white background. Harder for my eyes to read it.

idk i think mine are boring there black with white numbers, and at night the numbers are a greenish blue color. I want white ones. When you red line don't they turn red?

I like the way they look, i just dont like the spacing. Everything is way too together, makes it harder to tell speed without looking longer at the gauges (or having a GPS in the car to tell you your speed).

Agree with Jasezero -- its not the white that is bad, as much as the spacing caused by the desperate attempt at retro.

definately wouldn't get those for my car. u guys are right. i dont see how anyone can see the numbers. id crash into something before i could read anything. and they dont look retro at all. i think ford did a good job with the faces and im keeping mine. the whites are too much of an eye sore
