hey all. i have a '94 Cavalier, i have the outside looking pretty much the way i want it to and now it's time to start on the interior. i was getting sick of driving the car with no tach... so i went and bought a new tach, an oil pressure gauge, a volt meter gauge, and a Lotek dual pillar pod. the gauges are nothing special (iEquus) but they'll do the trick for what i need. anyway these gauges are all back-lit with black numbers. they're black on white background in the day and at night i have the backlight on blue.
so i'm looking for a new gauge overlay... i really like the reverse-glow type, but where my other gauges are all backlit i dont think the reverse glow overlay would really match at night when everything is lit up. so i figured i'd go with an "indiglo" overlay, possibly with a carbon fiber bezel to reduce all the glowing empty space. i think that would look pretty sweet, all my gauges would then be black numbers on blue background. this is the overlay here..

the only problem is, there is only 1 place i can find this indiglo gauge overlay that i want but i cant seem to get an email back from them on how to buy it since they dont do international credit card or paypal.
so i might have to go with a reverse-glow overlay like this..

but what do ya's think? the reverse glow overlay might look funny with my tach and other gauges because the other ones aren't reverse glow.... i guess i need an opinion, if i cant find the indiglo overlay anywhere else would the reverse glow one still look "somewhat ok" with my other gauges? sorry for the ebay link, if i need a new link i can get one somewhere else..
thanks for reading, any opinions are definately appreciated!

i have the same guages (iEguus) and there not bad gauges at all. especially for the money. altho the blue turns out more greenish. i think i would go with the ones from procarparts. or at least that style. i know ive seen the ones like that on ebay before. so id keep looking.
thank you for the reply Wojo. yeah i have not seen the indiglo style on ebay (canada) in quite some time.. but if anyone knows where i could find a set of the indiglo's for 91-94 Cav no tach anywhere please let me know thanks!
i cannot seem to find them anywhere but procarparts and i hear they are very hard to deal with from across the border
i think the indiglo gauges with a carbon fiber bezel would be hot!
thanks again
