Default best gauge overlay

I am thinking white face, but at night what colors does it glow. Who makes the best looking one, pics would be great as well. Also, is it dimmer at night with the overlay, i read somewhere to get bulbs with it. Any info would be great, thanx.

Default white over silver?

I was wondering if there is some sort of general consensus on whether silver or white looks better for a black z28 with gray interior. Thanks for your help!!

I have silver-faced gauge overlays from MacEwen motorsports

I also have silver faced overlays from them for my HVAC controls, dimmer/lights switchpanel, and shifter gauge (A4). The numerals are black during the day and glow factory red with the lights on. A bit dimmer than stock, but I just turn the dimmer switch up a little to compensate Installation is fairly painless too

check 'em out at:

good luck with your search

What is the Z06 treatment? Also, where can I see a pic of them for a 98 camaro z28? I love the Z06 and would be very interested.
