Gauge overlay from Ebay... Well since Macewen, and DynoPro are wicked busy, and backed up, does anyone have a review for the Ebay white face overlays?> The pics in the auction are identical to the Macewen, almost 100%
So really what am I losing? If they are the same, then buy em right?

How good a quality are they? Any insight would be helpful, as I'd like to purchase them , and search basically is for NAME brand/sponsor material...

Look exactly the same except where are the turn signals?
Are Macewen's vinyl "stickers"?
If you do purchase the gauge then buy it off their site, seems to be cheaper and offers silver. Well the silver is cheaper, otherwise white is 45.

ill most likely get them off Ebay-Although i do see that there is no illumination, nor is there anything in the features that contains/depicts the odometer.. Oh well, ill email them and ask.. But , I just dont see why spend 90+ on Mac's when i can buy these for half as cheap...

You get what you pay for. Hopefully they won't start to peel off. 
As mentioned, it doesn't look like the turn signal indicators show through, which shows lack of detail. However, I honestly cannot say how well made they are, as I've never used them.
As for the MacEwen gauges, I would go through ws6store.com. I got the overlays in 3 days when I ordered. If you get the Ebay ones, let us know how they turn out.
