Why not tittanium tint on all four gauges?

Whats up with only the speedo and tach being titanium color? I think i like the gauges on the 2k and 2k1 better than 2k2. Do they look better? From the pictures i dont know if i like it.

I'm sorry

But Charlie...you have one of the sweetest looking 95-96 4th Gens ever. Everthing looks so clean and nicely done.

I love the look of the Nismo badge too.

the gauges in the 2k2 dont look as nice as the 2k and 2k1 at night. the se gauges are just blacked out with red needles. i guess they got cheap and decided that nissan needed to save $.03.

I don't think I ever really paid much attention to the fact the speedo and tach are the only ones that are titanium-tinted. I can tell you that I really like the gauges being titanium, none-the-less. I find them very easy on the eyes. I never liked the white faced gauges as they are way too much of a contrast in a dark interior car. I think my hatred for white gauges can be traced back to the first Dodge Intrepid I drove. Now all white gauge cars remind me of that car.

true true...all white does have too much contrast with the black background.

Yes i agree with u guys, mostly like the titanium over the white, but i wish all four gauges were titanium instead of just the speedo and tach. Were the SE gauges white instead of titanium on the 2K and 2K1?

If they wanted to save money they whould not have changed the designe. Making them different cost's more money then just leaving them alone.
