blue gauge cluster
Tonight I got a little board, so I desided to make my gauge cluster a different color.
I choose blue just to go with the theme of my car, but I think later I will try different colors.
And no, I did not use a marker. My wife actually came up with the idea. If anyone else would like something like this, I will do it for $15 shipped.

why not use light gels like the ones on movie sets they come in every color under the sun they might be a dime a dozen out there wou might even find them in a thrift store or pawn shops i know here they are only 5-10 bucks for a roll of film i think 4 feet wide by 10 feet long --- to cut your own
also at the hobby lobby here in florida --- look for the creata bag that covers a basket and you heat it up and it shrinks it comes in many colors
also you can use remotecontroll ariplane film --- the ones you strech over the wings and heat up
just a thought on this i might go with the gells as they take high heat --- im sure you can get them smaller ill have to check as im a dealer for rscolux --- a manufacture of gells ill have to dig out the samples and take a pic and put it up here

here is a picture that I just took no more then 5 minutes ago. The cluster looks totally normal during the day.
Now if anyone else would like this, I can make it for them. I know there are a a lot of DIY out there, but I sure any one else would charge for the same thing so that is what I am doing.
$10 shipped to anyone who would like one. I will include instructions on how to do it at well.
