Arrow Auto Meter Sport-Comp II or Z-Series Gauges .02!

Good day, I am installing a 2-1/16'' Electrical Short Sweep gauge in front of the shifter in my 2002 Camaro ss. I am debating between the Auto Meter Sport-Comp II and Z-Series Gauge. I like the LED in the sport comp but not the silver bezel. The Z series might match the interior however. Give me your opinions! Thanks

p.s. I resarched swaping out a silver bezel for a black one and its not an option.

Sport Comp II




Z-series

Sport Comp II because it reminds me of the tach that Eleanor had in Gone in 60 Seconds & everything about that car was badass!

I agree the origional sport comp is sweet in Elanor or any other muscle car. I need a gauge alot smaller than a tach though.

Is the bezel attached to the glass? Or hard to remove? Thanks

I have the z-series and love them... they look kinda stealth. Plus I added led's to match my lighting and they are great!

Z series. And the bezel is part of the gauge, it would have to be masked off to paint it.

You can install white led's... the bulb socket just pops right out of the back of the gauge and you can replace the bulb. I got a pair that fit the gauge off of ebay for 2.00.
