Default NR Auto gauge faces- highest quality?

They seem a reasonable price compared to others on offer, are they the highest quality? Good fit and finish?

Also, I'm a bit torn between white (ya I know, rice etc.) and silver- on their site they both look the same. White is white but what do the silver ones look like- brushed alu. or shiney?

Hows the viewing at night?

Cheers.

p.s. any pics of white and/or silver faces would be appreciated.

Hi Ritter,
I have tried many aftermarket gauge dials including Gemballa dials.
I gave up on investing on aftermarket dials & decided to make the dials myself using the OEM as the base.
You may want to look at my thread on "Home made yellow gauges dial".
You can make any color face that you like with different text color, but please be very careful when you open the gauges.

Good luck !

They look pretty good in the picture. I'm Arctic with grey interior and alu. pedals etc. so silver is the logical choice.
But black at night? Hmm.
Do they need LEDs?
