I grabbed the blue set. I have the blue screen and hope it will look good on my 1K... but I was looking at the white set and had a hard time deciding.


Good luck TAX with the red.

i'm looking forward to seeing some pics... i'm surprised the website didn't really have any photos of the new pads installed in an MPC.

Take out the pads that are already in your MPC and spray paint dem joints whateva color u want!!!! I think this is probably a cheaper and more flexible solution with more color options (ANY color you want).

The only catch is, I don't know the proper type of paint that should be used on the pads. I remember a while back someone on these forums custom-painted his MPC1000 pads black. I don't know what kind of paint he used though.

yeah I saw this too.. Im trying to decide what color scheme to go with on my 2500.

I was also thinkin red.. Like a GA bulldawgs theme. But I would NEVER get a red screen.

I either want a White Screen wit Black text, or Blue screen with the polarity rev so I can have dark text on a light background once again.

But all the LEDS on the 2500 being red makes me wanna go with the red pads and side panels. Only because so far I cant find BLUE LEDS that are the same spec as the ones installed in the 2500 stock. I have looked in the service manual and searched the PN for the LEDS with no luck. Scoured the web lookin for them too, in white or blue but with no luck. For that reason Im thinkin of doing the GA Bulldawg theme. I mean Red and Black. Right now I just have black pads like my avitar.
