Why not just go all red LED? Your car is red so it will look pretty cool. My gauge cluster is all red and I love it.

I only don't want to go all red because all the Pontiacs have the all red cluster, and I don't want to mimic them, also, I can't stand the way most Pontiacs are styled, inside and out. Unless they're 2004-present.

I do love the look of the red LED RPM gauge, looks so sweet, so that much will be red. But I can't decide for what color to make the other two...maybe red gauges, red RPM, white speedometer? Not sure yet...

I personally think the ALL blue LED will look the best...

I would do all red - the Pontiac clusters are more orange than red and they aren't LED so if you would go with red LED it would be a truer red.

What you say is true, red LED looks different than the standard red bulbs in Pontiac's. I'll have to ask BBengineering for pictures of all these suggestions to accurately weigh everything.

what color are your switches and radio and heat and ac stuff? this is the only thing that makes me not want to do this to mine. all my stuff is green and i thought that it would look goofy. i want all red stuff like the pontiacs have.

That's another good point, the radio controls and cruise control functions on the steering wheel will still stay green, unless I find a way to update those. That's why I'm probably putting off this interior modification until WAY down the road, when I have money to blow and don't care if I go wrong.
