I have some I got off ebay that have a waved checkered flag pattern. The guy who I got them from said they were for a T/A but they are actually for a Camaro, so none of the #s line up or anything. Like someone else said, at night I can't see ****. They look cool in the day though. There is some company that does make overlays that got to 200 mph, and i think they are now making a Z06 pattern. I know they have white and silver but they are also quite pricey. Around $100 if I remember correct. You can find them in Summit and Jegs catalogs.
I occaisionally get a request for these but lately most have backed out or I never hear from them again. Maybe because I need you to send me your entire cluster and the car can't be driven without it, I don't know...
I charge $130 to apply that pattern and the bowtie to your existing factory gauges. You have to get your own T/A bezel and if you can get a bezel beforehand, it's best to include it with the instrument cluster so I can use it to be sure the pattern lines up correctly. If anyone seriously wants them I'll be happy to do them for you. mark2000ss@comcast.net e-mail me for details.

no the ones I have do not have the italic font either.See the problem is that unless you take the old guage face off the cluster (which by the way would be almost inpossible without messing something up) your italicized #s would not line up correctly for the lights to shine thru good enough for you to see at night. thats the problem I am having with the camaro overlays in my t/a. They have different fonts so the #s don't line up just right.
ls2_bait, the ones I was talking about are either from granatelli or LG. I don't remember which. If you are interested in a set like I have, I may have another set. I know my cousin bought some after seeing mine for his SS, but since his was a 99 and did not have the t/a style bezel around the guages, they would not stay flat on his and he took them back out. I will check to see if he still has them. Since you have a 99 also, you may encounter this same problem.

ecklers camaro has the gauge withthe checkered flag print for 180 and its signed by Scott Settlemire! it doesnt have the trim though. I WANT ONE THOUGH!!!!. In the Sept. 2007 Camaro Performers mag theres an article on a silver camaro and it has the trim on the gauges and they look sweet. i just dont see any info on them and nothing online. Marks is the only one i see.
