Don't flame me for saying this, but I like the look of the gauges in the Skyline on 2F2F. What kind of gauges have that blue back-lighting? Thanks, guys. :confused:
 
for the small gauges (boost, egt, a/f) the Autometer Cobalt Series are black face, blue backlit. Also about 150-200 a gauge :|
 
The apexi EL series guages are black faced with blue back lighting. I love these guages but they are kinda pricey.
 
Thanks, guys. I have the ELs from a couple of years ago and they light up pink and green. Kinda funny looking, but they came with the car. :p
 
Not sure what the F&F gauges look like but i got some custom ones from speedhut.com that light up a nice blue. They used to carry matching boost gauges taht i got but i guess they dont anymore. heres an example of the background color I got since i have no digi camera

NOT MY CAR.

I have the EL2 Gauges.

Black face. Just the numbers light up blue and the needle lights up red.
 
I have a cobalt 5 inch tach, cobalt boost gauge, cobalt egt gauge, cobalt air-fuel gauge and a cobalt nitrous gauge. post pics as soon as they are installed.
 
I think there is "too much going on" in those gauges. It looks cluttered. The link that was posted earlier, www.speedhut.com, actually would be very nice because you can design the gauge to your liking. You can make the face and glow any color you'd like.
 
the progauge SPW series is good, and you can change the color of the back with a button and its only $65
 
I have Phantom series boost gauge and I tried a blue bulb in it before and it looked bad and was hard to see. The other day (well like 3 weeks ago) I pulled it out and put two blue LEDs in there at 5000mcd each and wow it really lights up now! You might want to look into that. I bought like 50 off them from ebay for less then $20 :thumb: I changed the dash over too (HVAC controls and buttons etc) I'll hopefully get pictures soon. Looks really good blue! Way better then orange at least.
