Default Dash panel Color choice

Gonna be updating my dash panel this winter. Should i go with white, black, red, or carbon fiber. Keeping the white gaffrig gauges, since they all work. Will prob replace speedo since its faded, and steering wheel, but thats about it. Throttles will prob be taken off and replaced or re-powdercoated... Opinions welcome!

This is what I did. Sent my gauges back and had new rims put on, they also put new lens in. You would be surprised on the difference the lens make. I painted the dash myself (candy Red to show the grind marks). Then sent back to have the labels laser etched.

Thanks, seemed to update the look to me.
Let me know if you need the dash painted. I am still in Indianapolis for now.
I also did the glove box, someone this site did his and it looked good, so I did mine.

I just pulled my dash yesterday, I'm doing an upgrade as well, My boat has same colors as yours MILD, I'm trying to get away from to much red & using the silver as my main color, I'm going to keep the panel white & do platinum gauges & chrome rims & silver wheel

Wildmans dash has to be seen to appreciate the details not picked up in the pic. When the sun hits it, FOUNTAIN appears in 3D

You sent the dash back ( to fountain?) I would like to paint mine but did not know what to do about the labeling. Do you remember the cost?

He likely sent it back to Livorsi. You can paint or powder coat & sent the panel to Livorsi to have the labeling lazar etched back on, I think's it under $200, I'm having Livorsi refurbish my panels & gauges
