Default is it me?

Or does the TA guage cluster make the Camaro one look cheap? I swapped mine for a TA one and boy does it look better.

It's just you. The only difference is the bezel/surround around the gauges. 6LE sells replacements for you Camaro guys.

I agree, the Trans-Am ones do have better detail plus the bezel, although Camaros do have better looking needles (red)

97+ Camaros got a gauge upgrade, with red needles.

Except mine will be white.

Default its yours

25 bucks plus the ride and you can have it. It doesnt have any of those marks on it. Its in good shape. The only thing im keeping are the needles. I MAY go back in and change the TA ones out. You can have the cover only probably less shipping or the entire thing. same price.
88k
My tach was like about 500rpms ahead no matter what I did in HPT so I swapped it out with another one which was the TA one.

I dont know what shipping is but whatever actual shipping is is what I will charge.

Send a pic request to ssdungeon@hotmail.com and ill send you some pics of it.

I just want the clear cover that goes over the gauge cluster, don't want to put my 6LE overlay in and have a cracked cover.
$25 sounds good if you let me know what you want for postage.

^^Indeed. I added Macewen silver gauge overlays and a Trans Am bezel, and they look much better now IMO! I also added red SMDs since I got tired of staring at the **** yellow stock lighting at night

There are a lot more differences than the bezel surround at least on this one I just installed vs. the one I took out. I think its a nice interior upgrade.
I dont think its just me either...lol.

I want to swap my old camaro needles back. Can I just pull the needles straight off? When putting them back on what should I be careful about? I dont want them to read off. Any write ups? I can get to them. I took the ones off my old cluster. I am more worried about not putting them back on correctly meaning any alignment issues I should be careful about?

Warm up the car. Take a pic of where all the needles location are.
Pop off needles, start car, let it warm up, and put new needles back based on picture.
Easiest way to take needles off is to use a fork. Slip it behind the black dot, and they should pop straight off.
