black or white faced gauges?

Im gonna order them tonight, yall can make the choice for me. My truck is black with black stacks. My plan is to get a temp. mount for my pyro and boost (the ones im getting tonight) and buy all the others when i have time to install. When I have all of them, take out the old gauge cluster and put all the new ones in a piece of brushed aluminum in its placed. Im getting glow shift because I like blue lights and the colbalt ones are way more money. what do yall think?

Well, what pattern is your dash? Is it wood grain or just flat black plastic? What color are your seats? I would take your interior colors into consideration if I wanted to get things to match.

oh yea, well the inside used to be that horrible blue/gray color but I painted all the dash, trim, and seatbelt covers, every thing a satin black. the seat is still blue, but its not staying that way. The door pannels are painted black and i have the stuff to replace the fabric with a light gray almost silver micro fiber stuff. the bottom carpet on the door I guess ill replace with black carpet.

Heres a temporary mount that became permanent. I fabbed the gauge pod out of 1/2" strap.

I didnt want my gauges pointing toward the roof of the truck. Works good and it was cheap...........Just an idea for ya..........
