Good question. Is it more money when you add text or symbols?

this....I think you guys would probably be able to get a few more buyers. It would be better for me, but I will be buying another one either way.

My guess is that it would actually be $250 because the fuel guage labeling is custom. Unless Camaro's don't come with "E" and "F".

Per the OP, if you change anything other than color it is custom and $50 more. That's why they say if you only want a small thing, you're paying the same so might as well let your imagination run wild.

I just realized how much the stock 93-96 overlays suck, damn. The newer ones have way nicer possibilities. I'm pretty interested in getting one though.

Come to think of it, I don't remember seeing any LT1's with 6LE overlays actually installed. Anyone out there?

Actually we can do that one for the $200 price only because it is the original standard file we were using. We later changed it to be more factory (the fuel level) but still have that one on file so it would be the same you'd just put in the note you wanted the Porsche style fuel...

Btw the machines are a better investment than a hard top replacement.
You would think so but being that we haven't sold any turns out it just isnt the case.

The sail panels however have sold over around 50 already in just the few months... If the hardtops even just do half that they are worth way more than the overlay machines...

No problem as long as you can send us a cluster...

Whatever you put in the cluster... We recommend superbright leds...

We thought about that but looked back at our sales and decided it best to get these sold so that we could have the hardtop for sale by then...

Thats a shame Mark. I ordered a set on one of the first runs and they still look great. Anyone who is hesitating better jump on this while they can!

I'm sorry, I don't know how I missed this. I understand what your saying, what I have in mind isn't anything crazy.

I'm still curious about this Camaro piece we would have to get for a TA.

I know that. Exactly why I want a Camaro piece. Not really sure what to call it. Clear plastic gauge face? Its's so I can install one of the 6LE stainless steel/ABS plastic inserts. That way it'll look a lot better than a regular TA bezel and give it a modern touch.

Looks like I'll just be swapping out my bezel with a Camaro local member
