A mess up that turned out pretty good

After having trouble with my digital gauge, I put the original back in. I tried one of the white face kits on it, and painted the speedo part white so it all blended in but screwed it up and it looked horrible. So last night I took some laquer thinner and removed the white and it took the black with it and left the white numbers on the silver face. Turned out kinda cool.

The white numbers give it a whole new look. It almost makes me regret the new Auto Meter's I bought. Almost.;D

Very unique Trigger. Would you ever think about spraying some clear over the bare metal to preserve the look? LSUpete's is sharp too.
