Gauge needle colors
 

Just wanted some opinions on what color needles look good with white face gauges. SO far I am trying flourescent orange, bright red and flourescent green with flour orange tips. I havent been able to find regular orange model paint yet...only been to Wal-mart.
Since the car is green I thought the green needles would look cool, but I can't decide which color I like the best:

I like the gauge needles painted like the autometer gauge needles, but I think they need to light up at night as well.
Here's a picture of the different needles so far:

Here's what the dash looked like before:

The dash is now black, waiting to be reinstalled, the a/f ratio gauges was replaced with a fuel level gauge, and the radio is now an Alpine.

Green looks out of place. I like the orange myself, that is the color that I'm planning on doing my needles. Whose white face gauges are those and is it possible to get a good night picture with the dash lit up? Thanks, ~Brian

Those are mine, I was pkaying with the colors. And funny you should ask frr a night shot, cause I just got the wiring settled (for the most part anyway) and here you go:

The green didnt look that good at night either. I liked the concept, but the final result was not that great. I like the orange also. The red looked good, but it was kinda dark, and everyone I talked to is doing the red.
Keep in mind that digital cameras take all the light that they can and utilize it. The speedo lights are not that great. Mainly because there is a section on the frame of the gauge that is like a checkerboard type of thing.

Dude that green looks awesome. Its really different and stands out opposed to the regular orange. Id stick with the green for a while.

I think that I am going to do a complete set in orange and a complete set in green and try both sets. Since I figured out to use a fork instead of the tool that the gauge co. sent me it is easy as hell to take them off.

Green looks kinda ricey IMO, but it's your car, so pick your favourite.:D
