Want your opinion

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2421913232


Do you think these look okay- I would get one where the numbers are chevy blue to match my blazer. Are they any good, or are they junk? I have a original good dash cluster with new bezel I would sell if I bought this- how much should I ask for mine if I sell it?? (No tach)

Thanks-
Ken

Well, the price don't seem too bad considering you get an entire inst. panel with a new bezel and all...
A couple things I can see being a pain...
the teal color could be hard to see...esp if they have teal lights like he says.
Personally, i don't care for the font...but that's just me. My wife is sitting here tellin me the font is nice.
And the needle being white like the back ground can make determining speed a little bit of a pain. no more glancing to see, you'll actually have to look at it.

All in all I say it is pretty nice, and the detail looks pretty nice in the pics too.

hells ya. those things look awesome. if i didnt have fresh new guages, i would think about going with those. red or blue letters/numbers would be nice with red lights behind them. just my 2 cents

For me personally, I agree with SEVEND2 - it looks more like something from the 40s or 50s. Looks nicely done though; if you like the looks of it, I'd say go for it.
