Default Macewen customer service sucks.

I have called & left a message & no anwser. I was needing to know if the silver overlays for a 99' camaro will fit in a 99' Trans Am. Reason being I am changing interior lighting to blue. I already have a speedo overlay off a 2000 camaro SS with the blue backing. Now I need the HVAC & Headlight switch plate overlays.

Can anyone help me please? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Well according to the website they were closed from July 24-Aug 2.... might have something to do with that. Especially since they still haven't changed it

There have been quite a few complaints about MacEwen over the past year or so. I had a great experience with them, but that was over 2 years ago when I got my white face gauge overlays.

I had to leave several messages to get a hold of him too & I had actually already placed an order that I was waiting on. I ended up finding a home number somewhere (sorry, but I didn't keep it) & left a message with one of his family members to call me back & he finally did. I know it's frustrating, but the final product is worth the wait IMO. I had a set of different overlays in my '98 SS & they were the kind that you had to remove the needles to put on. It wasn't worth the trouble to install them correctly & they didn't even look as good as the Macewens. I persoanlly would be patient with him long before looking somewhere else, if you really want to do this mod. Also, be sure to get the brighter lights that he sells with them, it makes a big difference at night (There are 5 needed for the speedo/tach & 2 more for the smaller gauges.)
