Indiglo guages?

Anyone make it for the EVO yet? Also will the OZ indiglo guages work...? they have a center tach?

for a more indiglo look you can change your stock speedo & stuff out for Ralliart ones...

if you are talking about oil, boost and such...Apex'i makes some cool gauges that are indiglo...

I don't have any problem reading them at night, but during the day I often have major problems, especially if the sun is low. The only car I've driven that had harder to read guages in my opinion was my wife's old SVT Contour that had black on white guages -- those were damn near impossible to read in twilight. In contrast, my NX2000 has probably the best guages of any car I've ever driven -- large speedo and tach and white on black, the way they all should be IMHO...

Anyway, maybe it's just my old man eyes, but the guages are perhaps my biggest single ***** about the car. And I guess that says something about how happy I am with the thing - VERY!

P.S. For the track, my old 930 had probably the best set up (white on black, big tach plus oil pressure, oil temp, oil level, boost, and tiny speedo reading big mph ) but sadly, I don't spend that much time on the track...

I've got the same problem if the sun is low and in front of me I can't read the gauges without really having to look at them. Which means I'm not looking at the road and thats no good. I don't think I would want indliglo but anything has got to be better than this.
