Looks awesome. I agree with switching the yellow and green. Makes more sense that way IMO.

I liked yellow better than green so I put it first
I was happy with it but since many of you said the order was wrong I begin to wonder how it would look the other way around
so....

I'll open it up again
hahaha

lol wooop, can you take pictures of the light assembly (as in what emits the light to show the revs etc?) cheers, and also with it turned on to see the color of the light and its brightness if it's not too much trouble?


btw I found what I was looking for... would this be a lot better to help let the light through while still coloring it efficiently??

It's used in pro photography studios for accented lighting...21cmx21cm is a good size and i'm sure you could order a couple sheets individually or whatever...

Changed it to Green - Yellow - Red

posted some new pics


the colours can be clearly seen in daylight with the top up
I havent tried with the top down though

Blue and green were not very bright but red and yellow were OK

Overall I'm very satisfied with the result
it's nice to see different colours when you're driving but everytime you go over 6K rpm it feels like you're redlining maybe I'm not used to it yet hahaha

ShiftGearAP1: more like bog - picking up - redline already????? LOL
na, more like No boost - low boost - wheelspin
