I never mentioned the color scheme I went with. I decided on the carbon fiber setup with red. I chose the red for the reasons you mentioned. The blue is just too harsh on your eyes at night. I like the red layout much better. After owning a 2001 WS6 TransAm, the red, to me, is the only way to go.
I really like the gauge layout with this style setup. It allows you to continue the use of the original gauge carrier keeping a stock appearance. My interior scheme will be retro, so this will fit better in there. My car is an original console gauge car with factory tach, but those gauges just wouldn't work with the electronic transmission, at least not without spending more money. I built a custom console that is reminiscent to the original console and I was going to utilize aftermarket gauges in the console as the original was. Now, I can't do that with this gauge setup, so I may make use of that area for a double din stereo headunit with GPS. As of right now, I will probably just make it a pocket for storage.
