Check em out! These are the special Firehawk Overlays...

They were "interesting" to install, since it was the first time I ever took the dash of a car apart, but well worth it. I really love they way they spruced up the interior!

They also have them w/ the firebird/camaro/ss logos as well. Very nice quality, too!

Let me just say that HPA has great customer service and awesome product. My gauges were easy as could be to install and everyone loves them. Couldn't be happier with 'em.
NOTE: Gotta get a digicam, my scanner sucks!!!

Those look identical to MAcewen's guages, except with a sticker on it.

I think the pic they use on their page has the bird logo and WS6 text. The shipping was fast, quality and ease of install was as easy as can be, and I like them because they have that little extra sticker rather than the silver MacEwen gauges (still nice though especially for the money). Hope that helps.

He documented his install, and took lots of pics along the way.

So does the factory lights shine thru these things clear or is it blurry and spotty..I bought nr white gauges..they look good in the day..were a pain to calibrate and look lousy at night..just not even close to stock quality..fuzzy and few spots where they really look terrible..I might even go back to my stock black for now.But if these are high quality..mostly concerned with night quality..how much were they..??

These are perfectly clear over where the numbers/lines are that light up. It take a little time to get them placed, but it is easy to see thru the clear spots to line them up. As far as nighttime, they lights shine right thru them. They are just as clear at night as before I installed them.

At first I missed pressing down a spot so it was a little darker but I just took the clear cover off and pushed it back down and they are perfect now. Just like stock.
