matching HU color and gauge cluster

hi. newbie here. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/IMG]

anywayz, i was just wondering if there were any HU's out there that match the color of our gauge cluster (that cool red [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]).

something withing the $200-400 range would be preferable.

i've seen some sony HU's that have red buttons but a bright blue LCD display. didn't like it too much though, colors clashed. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]

well, thanks in advance for any recommendations.

the Nakamichi Head Units would match our gauge cluster nicely they have orange displays and are very sweet and simple.

Here you go

VTECxtc, i was looking for the same thing before i bought my deck.
but i think its nicer to have a variety of colors which contrast the red.
i bought the Pioneer 940 which is blue and aqua, and it looks sweet with the red. just a thought.

My Clarion HX-D10 changes from red to green. You can adjust the contrast, dimmer level, color of the buttons plus adjust about anything you want to with the sound.. it is freakin awsome!! 269 shipped from onlinecarstereo.com It's a pre-amp only though.. better sq if you have amps for your interior speakers.. VERY VERY impressive HU for the money
