I'd be down for the indiglos,
They got these needles, hyper blue,, looks awesome, But my friend has them on his Eclipse and you have to mess with the needles, and they get uncalibrated...

TALKING BOUT THIS..

WHY DONT THEY HAVE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS WITH TURN SIGNALS FOR THE FIFTH GEN YET?
I am talking bout the ones like the Mercedez s600, the ones that wrap around the whole side view mirror, not the ones like the 4th gen.

Jeez i think thats the hottest thing ever invented, looks so goddam cool. Yet people dont want them,

Because it is physical issues, look at the needles. Their is a almost a 3/8-1/2" long tail to the needle. This makes is almost impossible to slip a "cover" gauge on top of it. The hondas and other cars only had like a 1/4" tail.

I see more people just buying the "EURO" side markers and drilling into their fenders. Apparently that gives enough of a different look to avoid buying/repainting/wiring/installing rear view mirrors!

I agree with you regarding the attractiveness of the rearview mirrors...if you're resourceful enough, you could probably graft them on your stockers yourself!

sup guys......about 3 weeks ago I bought a indiglo needle kit off of ebay. Your supposed to take off the needle and attach these little circular things to the gauge face. When you put the needles back on
the gauges they become a hyper red color. Saw some pics of it on other cars and they look really f*cking cool.

Problem is.....I'm afraid to install these things and every shop I've gone to is extremely hesitant as well.
Either they say that it's possible that they'll break the needles or
they say that the readings will never be accurate ever again.

anybody know a good place in jersey or new york that might be able to install these things?

Also....I can't really tell but are our needles already painted red? because if that is the case this indiglo needle kit is not gonna work.....

sorry to say that your kit will not work.... the needle IS the problem that we have.. for 4th gen. they can just sand off the needle so the needle kit will work, but ours you can not do it...
