does anybody here have these gauge faces?
Friday, September 30, 2005 3:33 PM
I am really interested in changing to a reverse glow gauge but I don't want to get scammed with some low quality product that stops working after 3 weeks. I found this on ebay and i love the look. Is this quality? does anybody have these?

If i should stay away from this, can anybody recommend a good quality reverse glow gauge? links will also help

Sorry for the newb moment. I have a base 01 Cavi. Are the gauge's model specific? Base, EL, etc... The pic looks like my base gauges, but says EL, does it matter?

Help!

if you want to do something where you don't wnat to mess with the needles and worrying if they work right when you're done go to Black Cat and they have a whole interchangeable cluster with your chioce of guage face color and back light color, it's a good deal and they give you money back when you send them your stock cluster. But if you're comfortable with messing with the needles then be my guest but from my experience it's not that fun. Good Luck.

you dont have to mess w/ the needles. theres no reason to. every overlay i did worked perfect and i never touched the needles except for pointing them all up when i slid the overlay on

Quick question: I noticed my needles are white and the face I ordered is white (they light up blue). I think this might be hard to see during the day? I was thinking of maybe using nail polish or some other color paint on the needles. Has anyone done this or have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
Peace Out!

I have pretty much the same gauges on my cav...... look sweet at night.

I have no problem seeing my needles over my white face gauges during the day, but if you want to paint them, go ahead.

The difference in price = EBAY ($13 shipping) and the Web site has FREE shipping....... Ebay sellers count on people bidding on their products, raising the price.

Sorry I thought they were like my truck where you couldn't slide them on.
