Macewen MotorSports vs. Whitegauges Overlay Kits I am sure this question has come up before, but who has the better quality gauge overlay kits; Macewen or Whitegauges? Over than the price of Macewen's $100 vs Whitegauges' $30, is there any reason I should pick one over the other? Has anyone had any experience with using either one or both?

Definitely Macewen Motorsports. They use the best quality materials and the fit is perfect. We carry the full line plus the T/A Bezels: http://store.specializedstainless.co...-2002%3AGauges

So far I'm only hearing one side to how reliable the MacEwen overlays are, which is cool...yah MacEwen! Still the price difference of $70 makes me wonder what is the difference between both brands; cheaper material, pixelated graphics, peels off after so long? They look pretty idential to me, but I've played that game before and got burnt, so before make a decision I need to hear from both side of the fence.
I also heard somewhere on one of these post from that it was hard to see the blinker during the day because of the overlay. Has anyone experienced this problem?

Okay so the consensus is that MacEwen is the clear choice, which sounds like the way I will be going. Still has anyone heard of any horror stories from using overlays from whitegauges?

I was really interested in the Macewen, but the one thing that turned me off was the stock appearing font, and km/h. I just wanted something that looks much cleaner.

How does the 6LITEREATER gauge overlays compare with MacEwen? These aren't actual vinyl overlays are they. It looks like you have to take off the needles and faceplate to install these.

All the pics of the 6LITEREATER overlays are all V8/150 MPH gauges. Do you make any for the V6/120 MPH? I have a 2002 Firebird coupe with the gauge bezel with the circled frame inside. I noticed that your overlays have like a shadowing effect when overlaping each other; how does that look with my type of bezel?
