i love the guage pods!
what did you end up using for guages?

is the placement at all awkward to see - would it be easier towards the middle of hte dash?

Not at all awkward to see. They are right in your face. :) As for the gauge, theses are Autometer Cobalt Series gauges. They aren't the best, but they get the job done. :) (EGT and Boost)

You're lucky you're in california because you don't have huge shipping costs. ;) I do! The bumper is almost 1000$ shipped here! :(

translate through babelfish in Altavista.

Coastek240:

I modified it. It's quite easy actually. Get 5 194 Xenon bulbs and some transparent colored plastic. Cut pieces of plastic (mine was blue) and stick it behind the instruments. Install the Xenon bulbs and voilĂ*! You're done. You get a nice light blue that is brighter that stock greenish. If you don't like the blue, get another color of tranparent plastic in any art shop. Or don't install any to get a nice bright white.

Quick question Halo that is sort of off tangent.

For the 91-93 Fastbacks the white was plain white as oppose to the ivory/creamy white that the 89-90 had right?

I just wanted to make sure; the former mentioned white is the one I am looking for. I do not like the Ivory one.

Thanks! :)

you are right. 89-90 have a "ivory cream" color while 91-93 are plain white. However, in 1993, there was an option Pearl White (3 coat - base white, pearl and clear) on some car. My body shop did a lot of 240sx and when he saw my car, he couldn't believe it until he checked the plate on the firewall with said that I had a pearl white.

I intended to get the East-Bear lip for next winter.. I love how clean it looks.
