this thread would be so much more useful if it provided a link to the how to threads!

You can get white face gauges for cheaper than 25 dollars if you keep an eye out for a cluster from a mid model Pontiac G5. Some of them came factory with pale silver or white faced gauges depending on your color perception. Thats what I did. The faces are directly interchangeable and it's real easy, about an hour if ya got the stuff to work with. They glow red at night though, so the hvac controls don't match.......but if you have a kenwood dvd player they can be made to glow red, blue, or green. Hvac controls from a g5 should interchange and fix this but add cost.

Good looking out Laser.

my point exactly. i think it looks good, and its something unique. n how is a jester skull ricer? thats what i wanna know? lol. its not a vinyl along the side of my car, or an erector set wing? lol. it doesn't add 10000whp. lol. n also, nobody even knows its there unless they open my door. i just thought it wud look cool. n i think i'm gonna buy white LEDS and put them where the eyes are. call it ricer if u will, but i bet u it's 100% original. bank on it. :cssNET:

I've seen some people "dust" the rear-tails with black spray paint. I was just wondering how to do these kinds of things such as the heads/tails and i've never heard about the bowties? Thanks in advance!
