Does the glow around the warning lights bug any? Looks

Is it me or is the fuel guage not centered? Looks good otherwise.

Yep, the fuel gauge doesn't seem centered at all.

Btw, why's your car idleing so high? Cold start?

Looks pretty good I think im going to get it now. So was it easy to hook up? Also, if its not asking too much can you change the color to blue and take a picture? I would really appriciate it.

personally, i would only have the speedo, tach, fuel and oil temp in indiglo and leave the rest factory...it looks too busy with everything installed. Overall, looks good.

I think I like the SE gauges better, too. But yours look great, I just like the look of the SE gauges for my tastes. But since I have a GXE I can't get the SE gauges, or can I?

Yeah, I wish they did the font like the SE's. The idle is either high because the cold start or he hasn't adjusted the needles yet. I assume he had to remove the needles to insert the gauges. In my Neon I installed the white face gauges and you had to remove the needles and use tape to mark where they were when you removed them. Could be that?

Besides all that, Looks Good!

I think I would just hafve the 4 main gauges light up. The warning area looks too blank. I like what you've done though!

i dont like this mod at all. The warning light area looks terrible in my opinion. Its not your fault or a bad install. Its just the design of the gauges.

To each there own. I like my silver SE gauges..

REverse indiglo's

Unfortunately, they don't have the reverse indiglos...yet...This was just a temporary solution to my ugly GXE gauges until the reverse ones come out. I REALLY wanted the SE gauges, but for all the new SEgauges from the dealership, it is in upwards of $700, and that is a low quote. The dealers won't just sell the actual SE gauge faces, you have to buy the whole new gauge, which is expensive. The Fuel gauge isn't off...they just have a strange hue around them from the indiglo.

I completely agree with you guys though...The warning lights make the whole set up look too busy...After driving around last night, I am going to go back and remove these in the coming week.

Also, My tach is off due to a past experiment. You do not need to take the needles off to do this install, and from my experience, I will never take another needle off of a car.

Another addition

Also, me and my friends got bored after the install was done, so we took it all apart again, went down to pep boys, got some nissan paint...I think it is grey luster or something really similar, and spray painted the gauge bezel....This is something I should have done a long time ago! It looks absolutely amazing, and the color almost matches the trim of the stereo (Just barely off and you really have to look to notice the difference). If you guys want to do a cheap ($3.49 for a can of spray paint), amazing looking mod and have an hour or two free, I would do this. I'll get some pics up when I redo the gauges.

I think i'll just stick with my white SE guages. They look perfect to me at night with the chrome guage rings I put on.

Some people are trying to work a group deal for the reverse indiglo gauges. It's gonna be something like 60 bux. Look in the group deal forum. We need 100 people for the guy to make a custom template for our dash.

Yeah, I have kept a close eye on that...Realistically, I don't see 100 people signing up for it...I think someone should contact Initial K Auto Concepts about getting a kit made. They are the ones that made my indiglos, and they must already have a template for the Maxima's...So maybe if we jockey them a little, we can get them to make a reverse kit, too
