hmm ok. good opinions. i like the green but to match the car red was ideal


do yall think matching red floor lights like on the new mustangs would look to forign? i dont wanna make it look ricer. i just like the looks on the new mustangs. hook up a toggle switch somehow and have the red gauges and floor lighting. kinda cool

Is the red really that dark or is it just the picture? Look at the tenths indicator on the odometer. On the blue and green it is much brighter, almost white. On the red, it isn't.

That red is just too dark to be really usable. I agree with what was said earlier with Pontiac's lights being red also, it gets old and its not a quick glance thing. Also colors affect mood also, stick with something more soothing, I guess thats the best way I can put it. I like the green but from your color scheme it sounds like the blue would work better. I think my dash lights have lost all the pigment on the lenses. Its just old light bulb yellow/green, well actually more of a puke yellow/green.

Gonna look goofy if you go with Red and your radio lights up as green, or your climate control is green, etc. my car is red too, so I do like the red, but I'm going to get green cause I cant change the color for my radio / CC,.
