I like the first set, but will you be able to see the needles at night? And who makes them?
(I'm looking for a set too, thanks for posting these)

I actually had the first set in my last car: 89 Toyota Supra Turbo Targa Top. I left the original lights in (behind the gauges) so that they could light up the odometer, tripmeter, and needles. Eventually, I swapped out those old bulbs for blue colored ones, but they faded within a month and turned yellow----so I would suggest using bulb sleeves instead (you can find them at Pep Boys in the "RICE" section. If you don't leave the bulbs in, then the odometer and tripmeter (the needles maybe??) will not be readable at night.
You can find these gauges on ebay----do a search in ebay motors for: rx7 gauges --- you'll find em. I'm also thinking of getting this as well:

The first gauge set on the left has a bright white face, and the other gauge set on the right has a metallic - silvery looking face. I will also be getting a carbon fiber bezel.
(RED '91 N/A w/ black leather interior).
Anyone???

Corey, thanks but I'll pass. I really thought about the aluminum one, but I don't think it'll look right.

Yeah, I was just thinking today that I was favoring the silver gauges (on the right).
Thanks for the input.

Has anyone ever seen a set of black faced indiglos? I think it would be ******* rad to have black with the orange (maybe blue, but I'm sick of blue LEDs, neons, etc) lighting, but using the high-contrast indiglo stuff.

Be aware that the logicon panel is not a Glow panel, but simply a white panel replacement for the stock panel. You will still also have orange indicators unless you replace them or buy a logicon or DIY colored logicon panel from my webpage/webstore.

The logicon face that I posted up was from this website:
http://www.streetracerparts.com/inde...OD&ProdID=1431

It does glow.
He sells 2 different types: one that is ONLY a white faced setup, and the other is the same white faced setup, but has it's own power inverter and glows at night, like the gauges I posted up

This site also sells 3 different sets of dash gauges (2 of which I posted up aleady at the beginning of this thread). They can be found cheaper however on ebay----from the same seller/ company. He also sells the aluminum bezel, and sells gauges and certain parts for all generations of the RX7 as well as other cars.

I definitely agree that the silvery one (on the right) is the better one, but all in all, I really wish that someone made a kit with RED indiglo lights as well.
