I have them Mike. They look nice to me, and I get lots of compliments. The silkscreen could be better, but for $20
its not a bad deal!!

I have different versions, but same thing!
Here are mine. I asked them to make them black with white lines (like original gauges look). The others wouldn't look good with my woodgrain. THey look great and you really can't tell they are there. 20 bucks beats new gauges.

Yeah i got them on ebay! I had to paint the light green portions of the dash assembly white to brighten the display up. other wise it looks a little green. It is very bright at night, and you can install any color bulb (194) you can find and they look pretty cool.
They were not too bad to put in, you just have to take your time, and be careful when you remove the needles. I installed a white face tach to go with them and I really like the look!!

guages
DanoMano....hey,i had another question....i just bought a guage overlay kit from a fellow board member and had a question about how you removed the needles....first of all is there a trick to getting them off?...and second,when you do take them off you just put them on the way they were,right?....ive seen things on here where people took the needles off and it messed up the way the gas guage read for instance....but im assuming if you take them off and put them back on the same way,it wont hurt anything....any input?

You can use a fork, yes a fork to remove the needles. Just slide the fork prongs under the needle and pull gently up. Hope this helps!!

I saw one with a tach. Do they make one for a vacuum gauge? I think they look cool.
