6LiterEater / McNord gauges. On a Camaro I'd go with white or blue LEDs. I have yet to change to red LED's.

I had the Mcewen gauges in my 97 Z28. They looked great and were easy to install. The McNord gauges look great as well.

White or blue LED (background lighting), i like the second one's. I am thinking of putting a Z2830th "sticker" on the tach gauge. What do you guys think?

I am thinking these, with red LEDS and 30th symbol, from Brent Franker. Where is a link to these?

i believe a few sponsors sell the white faced gauges. i definitely recommend brent. that setups a great second fiddle (the 6les are more expensive though)

when youre ready to do leds check out the 'led faq' section in the list o stickies

then post pics of the results

I paid somewhere around $200 for them. Well worth it if you want something truly custom!
