Its accurate to the 140mph template i was given.  Its also easily scalable.  I have templates for the other speedos as well.

The plan was to remove the existing faces and apply the new ones over the top.  I am still working on the black layer for the back (so there wont be any ghosting) and then use a layer of blue lighting gel placed behind the numbers to provide blue illumination using the stock lighting sockets (but upgrading the 194 bulbs to 2829 for better illumination).

I had the indigo gauges in my 92 SC.  They drove me insane and i finally took them out.  The Gauges didn't line up properly and I could never get the color dialed in correctly.  During night driving (which i do alot of) they almost blinded me and killed my night vision.

Custom gauge faces FTW! I've been working on (and by "working on" I mean "not working on") a set of custom gauges for the Thunder Chicken for quite awhile now. I'm gonna go with a classic-style design, though...

I bet you could put some blue 194 bulbs in there or get some thing blue plastic sheet at the hobby store for the blue effect. I put some indiglo faces in my 94 cougar I used red 194's to make the needles red no the white. No paint just bulbs. Also these aren't so new but these are the one's I made for my 84 Turbo coupe.

I think they are the Shhhhizzzzzzzzzzit
