I'm going to be getting these gauges, but Im stuck on what color to get. First, I thought I liked the red because it kind of matched the interior and what not, but I saw the white in person and its beautiful :drool: What do you guys think? Im leaning towards white right now :thumbup:

If you have red leather, get the red...otherwise get the white (so long as it glows red at night and will match the other gauges.....) :thumbup:

Red will look better with the BMW guages, white looks hot though. But I'm anal about stuff matching, so I'd go red for sure!

I have the white-faced Defi BF gauges (6 of them) in my evo - i'd say go for them - the bling of *gauges* in my opinion. But if your gauge cluster is orange or red.. go for the red ones ;) White ones are much easier to read though, I must tell you.. :thumbup:

I say red to match the interior. My buddy had these in 60mm in his STI first in white, then in red to match the STI better. Truthfully, the white looked pretty damn cool I must admit, and if you don't care about matching go for it instead. But for a good match and a damn nice/cool guage I would go for the red. These are the guages I will be picking up also :thumbup:

Depends on where you plan to mount the gauges.....if you are mounting them really close to the stock cluster or any vicinity that where the stock red illumination is prominant you might want to go with the red so it blends in..... but I guess if you want to go with a contrasting look...then white rocks too :thumbup:

my opinion matters the most, get ICE!... hahahah, get white ones, that looks more clean, must have some contrast inside. :thumbup:

White does look very sharp but red matches so nicely! Are numbers red on the red gauges? or do they just light up red?

The lights are always on...Like when you start the car, it does this crazy start up sequence and then the lights stay on :thumbup:
