Aquamist DDS users: red gauge or blue gauge pics? And mounting options...
I'm trying to decide if I want the red gauge or the blue gauge that comes in the Aquamist kits, does anyone have any pics of theirs in action? I can find some pics of red ones, but I want to know what the blue looks like. Also looking for opinions for or against each color. I'm probably going to be swapping out my single gauge column-mount for a dual gauge column mount.
You guys that mount it to the dash, what do you use to do this? Just some velcro or dual-sided tape?
Thanks guys.

Based on my experience with GB sales most of the EVO buyers go with RED....not an EVO owner so I can not give an opinion.
The DDS3 gauge should be looked at like any other 2 1/6 (52MM) gauge, you would need a gauge holder (or pod) for this and IMO the gauge holder should be securely mounted, nothing worse then things flying around when you at speed or during aggressive maneuvering.

OK, I think we may be able to get a swap done so you have what you want. PM me your contact details and I'll get in touch with you, also include where you got the kit and the serial number.

From a purely functional stand point the blue LED's offer better visibility than the red. If you look at after market shift lights the blue LED's cost more.
