The white gauges can be had from $15.00 - $30.00 on ebay. The reverse glow gauges I bought were $25.00 and they look spectacular. Does this really justify organizing a group buy?

I think they are ugly..unless you have an LS1 where it has the black outlines separating all the guages.

He wasnt asking your opinion. He asked who wanted to do a group buy.

I am talking HIGH quality gauges! and yes you would be getting the black trim piece like the 98-02 trans am have on them! They are great looking gauges, NOT cheap gauges off of EBAY. Some people must want GOOD looking white gauges!

Yes that piece will fit the lt1, but in the macewen motorsports site you get the bezel with the lt1 gauges.. they say its a customized version of the 98-02 bezel but it looks no different?

My overlay is sort of hybrid, I took the reverse glow overlay, trimmed off everything except the 6 main gauges and installed it over my existing black gauge. This gave me the white and reverse glow gauges while keeping the black idiot lights with the larger text. Look very good for very little.

By the way there is a plastic bezel that screws down to separate the individual areas just like the later model.

What high quality gauges do you have in mind?

I am interested in seeing your gauges you trimmed, you should post a picture up. Also what trim piece are you talking about? Where do you et it? beacause on the two links I left on my last post both of the sites have the bezel piece you buy to replace the stock LT1 and these new bezels have the trim piece in them. Go to both those links and check out the gauges. They look super clean and better looking than most gauges in my opinion!

I posted over there- I too want the nicer ones like the links you posted. I wish the dyno pro guys had them with just the Trans Am logo.

One place said something like if you get about 10 people that would be 10% discount and around 20 would be 20% off

Those gauges for the trans am light up blue instead of red... I don't think most of the pontiac guys would go for that. Look at the other two sets of gauges I found. They look awesome! So far there are a few people interested and the more people the better discount we can get
