'03'-04' gauges modification

i love my gauges in my '04 civic. but ive always been fond of the RSX gauges too, with the all-red color scheme. anways, would it look good to change all the white in the gauges (the hash marks and numbers) to the same red as the red outlines of the gauges?

i got this idea when looking at the Euro Accord gauges. the US gauges are like the Euro gauges, except the white in the US gauges are changed to the red:



so, would all-red '03-'04 civic coupe gauges look good? and how hard would it be to modify them? im not neccasarily gonna do this, just wonderin....

I guess it's possible. Just take the cluster out and look for bulbs in the back that you can pull out. Then just put red bulb covers over them. I was gonna do this in my 02 sedan, but I decided to do hyper amber and blue gauge needles (not done yet, so don't ask for pics). I've got tons of red covers that I didn't use if you want to buy some. But to me all red just looks like every other car out there--played out. Also, the bulb covers will cause the light to be dimmer.

sholdnt be tii hard. on a side note, i would love to have that steeriong wheel. it looks so good with all the controls on it and the silve contrast. i wonder how much one of those cost...i would probally pay a decent amount for one of those.
