i got them, i havent installed them yet cause my car is in the process of being painted (and by in the process of being painted.. i mean the guy is taking his sweet *** time doing the body work and paint.. ) but they do look nice(looks wise anyway). they do need to be cut out wich kinda sucks and i did get the running horse versions( <--- thats what the running hoarse versions have in them)wich have little mustangs on them that kinda fade out.

http://www.gt350mustang.com/wfg/83wfg7k.htmlhere is kinda what they look like, minus the 105 mph speedo. http://www.gt350mustang.com/wfg/ford.html#if you scroll down to the bottom they have a bunch of different logos you can add to them.. i went with the black/gray to match the int of my car. i will let you guys know how they look and take pics of them installed when i go down to get my gauge cluster.

I have white face gauges in my car. If you lived in Canada, I'd offer you a trade.

k...those white face places look really cool for show, but that is all i would use them for...if you are planning on driving your car at night those HUGE white "reflector" plates are gonna drive you F@#$%@G^ nuts..especially if you light them with blue or green light. I wouldn't put them on....they arent going to make your car go any faster.

and the fact that a 85mph speedo doesnt accurately measure speeds over ~90mph

I had the white faced gauges in my explorer for one night, they were horriblr on my eyes, the next day they were back out. I went with silver and blue after that, they worked very well.

well if thats the case then i can just use the 85mph whiteface overlay instead of the 105mph

I have driven a few cars with white face gauges and i never had a problem seeing them at night.

they are gonna be lit up with the stock lights so i dont think i will have a problem. and youre right.. they wont make the car faster.. just look better in the int. also it will kinda brake up the drab collering of the dash... there is alot of gray.
