I want the entire dash readout to be in blue I'm suppose to be getting my seats redone and have blue stitching IDK I just feel the the NHBP with blue flake clashes so much with all the Si's red interior.

I originally wanted blue as well but the Si only comes Red so i just let it grow on me...

the only way to get it in blue is to change the gauges... the tach will only say 8,000 rpms tho...

Blue would look sick on your car.

But gold on mine would look sicker..

Wow! thats a great write up, but I would never dare to do it! Very subtle change but I'm sure it looks good!

hey bizzybear I WAS THINKING ABOUT DOING THIS WITH THE FIJI BLUE PAINT ON THE INSIDE. Did the silvers pieces on the door snap off? and if so were you afraid of breaking the clips? also i'm thinking about doing the switch on guages as well to blue, but want' sure if the redline would stay the same or if there would be problems with the wiring? let me know what you think.
