Default White face VDOs to update the SR1

What do you think? I guess I'm letting the cat out of the bag at this point. But I'm thinking they'd set of nicely against say a silver dash and possibly blue-accented gauge panel. I know Formula stole my color ideas but I already had these colors in mind when I first saw DGDuck's 311 white painted dash project.

I like them! Are you planning on painting the dash white? It really updates the boat!


Have fun!

Silver/platinum would be the dash color, silver with blue accents for the gauge/dash panels.

I actually like the simple look of not having bezels. Plus these newer VDOs have individual hour meters in the tachs, so they can be monitored seperately.

RonS, which gauges do you have in there? I'm thinking about relocating the fuel, and possibly going with only one volt meter (like all the new boats), and being able to add oil temp and water pressure.

Speedo, tachs, oil pres, oil temp, water temp 1fuel and 1 volt meter, Tach's and Speedo are the large size monsters so you could free up some room with smaller tach's and speedo and maybe add the water pressure . Hard to tell but the panels are carbon fiber, I was going to do powder coated black panels but the carbon fiber seemend to dress it up a bit.
