I've seen these gauge faces for sale on the web and on eBay for pretty cheap. IMO, I think they look pretty good, but you need something else in the interior to match the colors they use.

Wes, you're not thinking of getting new gauges are you? You are already working towards new seats and wheels.

I've seen those before on e-bay for under $30.00. They're cheap, but arn't they a pain in the arse to install?

procarparts.com

they are for the guages on the 92 and above.

the difference is that the ones on the site are for the guages with the tcs light cut out. I had the on the t-bird but since the car is so plain inside it didnt matter.

Stuff like that might look cool in pics, and/or shelves... but once on the car, you'll realize that they overpower everything else, and unless you've got a big dual-din tv screen, and maybe a couple other matching gauges and a bunch of other lights going on inside the car, those gauges might not be so pleasing to the eye anymore

Good point by OTG.

They'd look good on a car with lots of mods, but they'd look like rice on a clean Q with granny tires and piepans. :)

Focus indeed, Wes. :)

I was just speculating... I figured they wouldnt fit with the whole interior of the Q

If anyhting we need the rings... those will be GOLDEN.....

I LOVE MY GRANNY TIRES!!! YOU CANT TAKE THEM FROM ME!!!

Those things suck. I picked up a set b/c they were clearing them out ($9.99), they hum, they don't adjust well and the colors suck.

If they didn't hum, they would look alright with a black interior, or maybe gray, but not at all with my tan. Plus I spliced it into the remote wire for my stereo and they were drawing too much current so my h/u kept cutting out.
