Painted The Gauge Needles

Post by Jboy2 »

Since it was snowing no stop down here, i decided to do something to keep busy. I know it isn't much of an upgrade, but an upgrade none-the-less.

Looks good! I had that cluster before i swapped in the 94/95 style and the 91 style was always hard to see, day or night. Nice job brightening it up!
