Hi Everyone,
I was interested in purchasing one of those "EL Glo" dash kits. Anyone have any reviews on them? Anyone know where I can buy a set from? Thanks much!

As far as a review goes, I have had this installed in Winged1 for about 4 years now, and I really like it. For those who are "purists" in the strictest sense, the fonts are a bit different than the original, so the appearance is slightly different than stock. The dash is very striking at night, and has been literally trouble-free since I installed it. There is a dimmer feature, and the color is selectable - I have teal green and blue that I can switch between. It is possible to get them in different calibrations for those who have an updated speedometer that goes to 140 MPH, or with the stock 85 MPH scale. Note that the EL dash kit does not illuminate the gauge needles. I installed UV light LED's in the instrument cluster upper housing, and then applied some phosphorescent paint to make the needles glow in the dark against the EL dash panel.Originally Posted by sapphirexae
In regards to where to get them, please PM me about some possibilities.

Interesting - I had written that dash off as I had only heard negative comments about it. Might have to re-evaluate...

I dunno, I'm sure the effect at night is cool but I think those just look terrible in the daylight
