I purchased mine from WS6 store and my shifter overlay from Mcewen. That being said they appear the same thickness and quality.( I think Dyno-pro is suppling WS^.

Actually we buy direct from Ryan Macewen for his overlays The RPM speed gauges are made for us by a private company.

I would not get dynopro. They rip you off. $129.99 for a set of gauges, and the only difference is the decals? How about this, $75.00 by ordering from WS6store, and then spend $14.00 on the same decals from bfranker for a total of $84.00. Save $46.00.

I make the kits for the above 3 mentioned. So, I guess you are safe with any one of them. Although, any added decals aren't my doing.

LOL I was just going to post that up... All 3 silver overlays are made by Macewen. Nobody else makes a silver set of overlays.

I bought mine straight from Macewen. Then added decals for an added 20 bucks.



Pontiac Steering wheel overlay is now gonzo. That mod didn't last 24 hours.

Silver, they light up as they would factory (red).



Bad pic but you get the idea.

When I ordered my overlays from Ryan (MacEwan) he sent me the wrong overlays, he sent the silver ones.
He fixed this situation very promptly by shipping out white ones overnight.
I had the opportunity to have both colored overlays at once, so I took some pics.
The silvers never made it onto the cluster, but the whites did ... as you will see in the pics below.
