Smile Blue Bat Guage Pods-LeMans

Got them in the mail today and slapped them on.

Couple quick things: These pictures suck for 2 reasons...
1) I'm using my original digital camera from 1997 with 1megapixel quality.
2) It's really hard to get a good angle with the windshield in the way. A roadster would be better.

Now, there is some very noticable glare that these put out..not sure how it'll be while driving...but it is something to think about. The carbon fiber might be the way to go.

Overall- Love em! Looks cool..a very nice touch. They're not too bright and match the car very nicely.

I took the pics before the water had totally dried, so there will be some adjusting as well.

Enjoy.

Looks nice! The glare was my concern too, which is why I chose the CF overlays.

I really like the way it looks, but the glare was a problem for me. I decided to order the tops in LS and skip the bottoms.

seen it done man... ever see that "pimp my ride" show? *If you havent, watch it, absolutely hilarious "that wing is HUGE, thats tight yo"*

anyway, this person had a... I donno what, whatever it was, it was 2 of them, joined with glue. they wouldnt let it go back on the road; so they got a brand new scion. now thats the ugliest thing ever IMO, but it was brand new; first mod? a full car vinyl wrap. no joke, the entire car, no paint was left exposed.

another golden moment was the datsun nissan maxima. they were going nuts that it had both datsun and nissan badging, ignorant morons had no clue their the same company.

I'll take some more pics today....

So far while driving the glare has NOT been a problem at all...thank Nissan for back lighting all of our guages during operation. It's not hard to read em at all...

Very happy. Now hurry up and make those door handle inserts...and rear strut bar!
