Green fo sho. Then change your plug wires to some of those green plugs wires that are wrapped in the chrome braided material from US Kool lines. SICK

Good idea. We'll see what happens with the lights and then I can decide. those green wires are cool.

Oh, it will come apart. And NO, it's not designed to come apart. No sercret, there is a stainless housing that meets a plastic housing and the two are joined with a roll bead. Just work the bead with a small screwdriver, round and round, little by little.

I'm so humbled! Thanks for the kudos.

Those faces look pretty cool. I haven't decided what sort of creation I'm gonna go with. after seeing the stainless steel ones, I wish there was a way to scrape out the black of the original face into a flame pattern like on the gauge on the website, without losing the outline of the numbers from the gauge.

Makes me almost wish I had two-tone colors in mind. Like scrape out a flame pattern on the face, then paint it with blue clear paint. With red lights it would show through purple, and I'd still have the red numbers on the speedo. So many options!!!
