Thats nice looking work !! Something I saw on a Japanese car here in Japan was some kind of switch or dial he had wired and he was able to change the color of his gauges...he had like around 7 colors or so he could change depending on his mood or the feeling and it looked cool, the same stock gauges but was able to change to various colors with a turn of a dial. I am not sure if he was using LED lights or bulbs but it was very cool looking and also bright enough and very clear and easy to read. The car was not a 914 and instead was a newer Toyota compact car. I thought that was a cool look and feature and it would be cool if somebody developed something like that for a 914. You could have different colors depending on the time and match them to your stereo and audio controls. I am not sure if you could make something like that but just wanted to mention that incase you were looking for some ideas or if somebody else was intersted in coming up with a way to manufacture something like this.

Hello Jamie,

Hope life if getting better in Japan.

There are manufacturers that make LEDs that change colors but they are pricey, as much as three times more $$ than one color LED strips. I have thought of doing a gauge and posting it as a sample. Maybe some time soon. The issue would be if some one is willing to pay the price. On the other hand, many 914 owners like keeping their cars stock...my problem is I never liked anything stock.

Thanks for the compliment on my work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
