Default white face gauges in T/A, what kind?

What white face gauges are you T/A guys using? I was gonna buy some from WS6Store.com but figured I would see what kind everyone is using. Post pics of your white face guages in your T/A.

The Macewens are popular. I picked mine up off ebay and found them to be nice quality.

There's always the ones we sell



I'd go without the drop shadows though since you guys/gals already have a bezel...

We sell Macewen Gauge Overlays in white and silver. We also have Macewen Overlays for the Shifter, HVAC & Headlights. We also have the T/A lens / bezel in stock if yours in scratched or cracked... Purchase here: http://store.specializedstainless.co...-2002%3AGauges

With Macewen gauge overlays you don't have to remove any of the needles to install them. They also retain factory lighting. Macewen overlays have been around since 1999 and everyone loves them so far.

Here's a set in silver (the decals are optional):

SPECIALIZEDSTAINLEESS I think you just sold me on the silver overlay. I dont understand hoe you dont have to take the needles off to install the overla. Can you explain how that works?

They are just stickers that go on top of your factory ones so you can just slide the needle through the hole and the stick them on. Really easy

The Macewen overlays are actually 3 pieces so you can slide them over the needles. The T/A gauge bezel hides the edges. And just like Mark said, they have an adhesive backing you just peel and stick.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you, Steve.

I am pretty sure I have seen them without a bezel and they still look good but a bezel makes ANY gauge face look better

Speaking of which Steve... ...I need to pick one up from you (tire of my modified one with the stainless steel)

If your going to do the entire face or just overlays spend a couple bucks more and get the TA bezel. It really looks nice.

I've got mine somewhere else with the same quality as macewens for about 40 bucks instead of 100 or more, can't post the link because of site rules, but I dont understand why people would pay 100 or more for a sticker overlay...

I've seen the $40 ones and no way they compare in quality and fit to the Macewens. I can honestly say from first hand experience that Macewen overlays are perfect. If you can live with less than perfect, go with a knock off brand... You get what you pay for.

I have them in stock... You should stop by sometime, you still haven't seen the shop! We could do some brain storming and I could help you on the metal fabrication side of all your new products.

ive had them on two cars now and the quality and fitment is PERFECT, both on my ls1 TA and v6 firebird. to each their own, I just like buying from the cheaper guy offering a fair price instead of supporting inflated prices .
