Same as the 04 and 06, white.

The gauges are very nicely done. I, personally, do NOT like the cheap-looking white dials used by Chrysler. The GTO gauges are color keyed to the interior/exterior of the car. At night, they appear black with white numbering and look a lot classier than the "pick a color" Mustang ploy.

Everything on that car is very nicely done. I was just concerned with those back speakers. Will turning up the amp help that? I figure that if they saturate with the amp turned down, they'll blow with the amp turned up any higher. Some feed-back on this would be appreciated. I am not home right now to try this out, and won't be for another couple of weeks.

well you can try turning the amp up, and the volume down, and see if that gets a bit better tone. I havn't herd of anyone else running into that problem though.

Here is a picture of the dash illuminated at night. Sorry for the not so great picture, my camara is VERY bad in the dark, and if you use flash, you don't see the illumination.

Turned mine up to 3/4 with no problem base just hits harder now and there is highs. On a side note I don't use the preset eq's base is +1 treb is +5 and the distortion limiter is turned off. This config give me the sound I want all the way up to 50 then it distorts a bit.
