US Speedo gauge faces

[Chevy1925]

So im staring at the US Speedo stainless steel gauge face for my truck (with the red numbers) but im not sure how hard it will be too see the indicator lights at the top edges (where the blinker,check engine, and whatnot are). I really like the escalade setup but dont know if i like the white face or the red one.

If you guys got different gauge faces from factory, post them up please. Not sure what way i want to go.

Those stainless ones look like the gauges in the little half ton my dad just picked up. They are easy to see everything.

well i ordered the white face escalade gauges/lens/and needles. should match my autometer ultra lite IIs very well. They dont have the gauges for a diesel so i wont have a "wait to start" light and the fuel gauge says "fuel" instead of "diesel"

anyone know how to etch the gauge face so i can make the wait to start light shine through?

What about the tach? If the gauge face is for a gasser, won't it have a 6k RPM tach instead of a 5k?

Let us know what you end up getting as this is in the list for me. I like the stainless face with escalade lense to match the ultra lites as well. I'd like to see pics though!
