Some of the guys here have been disapointed with the quality.

I used a set, turned out ok. I think that he has refined them a little since he first started selling them. They don't install in 20 minutes as he suggests, at least not if you want them to look correct. Not a real good picture, I was not using a flash so it's a blurred.

the guy that makes these is in Utah, i've got a few sets from him, they arent the best of things but it still beats painting all by hand ?
we painted the black tin backing white, instead of using the overlays for the lens, and it turned out pretty cool the letters look like they kinda glow, still a personal preference thing though...

Nothing compared to real white face gauges, but they look pretty good.
If you have a Tach dash then the decal you get for that slot looks like a sticker...
But I plan on slowly replacing the gauges one by one with the real thing!!
