Default To paint guage cluster or not...

Morning all...I'd like ya'lls opinions (and pics if possible) regarding a cosmetic mod.

Claudia is getting a full on race re-build. As the interior will be stripped out and roof coming off (for a new skin) and cage going in - as well as all soundproofing/adhesive being removed, it would be a very simple matter to paint the elliptical guage surround in her guards red.

I'd love opinions and perhaps actual experience with this; glare perhaps, or just general looks. (I personally love it and think it will make the car faster...)

Pics would be wonderful.

Best, Kai
p.s...Weiner will be doing pics and small write-ups as the build progresses, including a blurb about the new MCS suspension.

I think it looks good if the interior has a "race look".So in this case, do it if you like it!

I'd go for engine-turned aluminum.

Also look for the Rennline lower dash cover which you can spray in the same colour...
