Gen5 I Need Your Honest Opinion !!

As most GEN 5 owners know, there are not many aftermarket accessories for the Camry, in particular Glow Gauges for the Instrument cluster, really the only option is to change the light to blue, or bright white LEDs. On my car the dash lights are white, and I'm pretty happy with the brightness of the light. What I'm thinking, is since there isn't any Indigo Glow gauges, I'm thinking of painting my stock black panel with white numbers, to white with black numbers. I don't want it to look "ghetto" or anything, what do you guys think? Let me know please...

White face panels aren't ricey.....see Chrysler..they're really nicely done and classy.

Gen5

Yeah, after I posted, I was thinking grey instead of white to match my interior dash color. But what about painting it any opinions?

it will take you hours just to mask the numbers, and you have to do it twice, and then hope that the paint doesn't peel with the tape. Just make it easy on yourself and buy it.
