Caribbean Custom Designs

www.caribbeancustomdesigns.com

came across a vender on ebay that makes custom gauge clusters and custom HVAC overlays for fox body and up mustangs in reverse glow. i just ordered an HVAC through them because i hate how dim the HVAC buttons are at night. i kept it all the stock colors and such (black with white glowing letters), i just wanted something brighter for at night, but you can customize the color of the background, the foreground, the prodomenant unit of measure (KPH, MPH). you can even add your own custom logos to the gauge faces (they won't put saleen on the gauges, they must have gotten burned once before). i just placed my order for the HVAC display, and with shipping came to ~$78. they're based in puerto rico, and have positive feedback on ebay. just thought you guys would like to know in case anyone was looking for a custom look. i'll post up what my HVAC looks like when i receive it

i know, but i've always liked the look that the reverse glow gives. plus, you have the option of adding your own custom logoto the gauges.

definately. i still need to keep the bulbs behind the hvac there even with the overlay, because the knobs still need to be lit up. i guess i need to solve why the left one goes out every few months.

I tried that with my '94. All seven of the bulbs I bought from the site burned out after a few months.

Mine are perfectly fine. BTW, you need to resize the picture in your sig as it's way too big.
