Default Gauge Panel Installation - Illumination Pictures
Some time ago I posted about ProSport Gauges... Well I ordered the oil temp gauge and ended up with Innovate G3 Series Gauges for AFR and Boost. Other than depth (from clear cover to gauge face) they are pretty close in look, although the ProSport is a bit brighter.

With the Innovate G3 boost and ProSport oil temp gauge, the illumination is configurable. You can set them up for white during the day and amber when the lights are switched on, amber all the time or white all of the time. When I got the Innovate G3 AFR, I assumed the same lighting configurations would exist... Unfortunately, it does not - white only - which is a bit of a pain in the neck. ProSport's AFR, on the other hand, does have the two colors. I may consider getting one.

Head unit is an Alpine CDA-9884, which was acquired to for its great sound and the configurable illumintation in red.

Also attached is my LED set up for my dash lights.

Very nice! I bought ProSport gauges, as well. I went with the premium electrical units.

Mike... Slap self in head... I was in Gananoque today and if only I had remembered to put your phone number in my BB... I will be down in the area again and will make sure that we connect.

I believe that the steering wheel is a 930 steering wheel as told to me by the PO... I love it compare the to the stock wheel. However, I am not sure that I would spend the $500+ for one.
