Very sexy! :thumbsup:

I didn't think it was possible in a VT / VX - nice work!

Feel free to check out my blue dash - click on the link "Updated Pix" in my signature...

wrx884, how did you get the lines on the tacho to remain red? Looks great - the whole thing. I really dislike everything being blue, it needs some contrasting colour.

yer thats wat i thought and it makes it look more realistic kinda thing um as 4 making them light up red i used 3 mm red LEDs on each section and i made a lil closed off area so the red light doesnt interfear with the blue i'll try show a pic but i couldnt get the pic ne clearer with my phone n it was the best i could get
