Default MacEwen Guage Overlays

Has anyone delt with him recently, I know he was having troubles getting his overlays out in months past, but claims that everything is running better now. Just wondering because in time I would like to get a set from him if the service is now better.

I think you can order them from ws6store. Call them up, and see if they have some of his stuff in stock.

Why don't you try e-mailing him? He seems to be up and running again and has returned my e-mails on the same day.

I went through WS6 Store. I ordered some 1998's which they didn't carry in stock. They were shipped from MacEwen and I received them in 3 days.

Actions speak louder than words. It's easy to claim you've revamped when sales go down and your customer base bad mouths you for months.
It took over four months and a ton of e-mails that got no replys to get a shifter overlay. Not to mention a ton of calls to a number you can't leave messages to.
The product is great and to his credit, the day after I sent my last exaspirated e-mail, he sent a reply that it was shipped and provided a tracking number.
Overall, the whole experience left such a bad taste in my mouth that I would never order anything directly from Macewen. I would suggest dealing with another sponsor on this site. I've had great success with the WS6 store.

MacEwen guages suck. Also they always slide when they get hot in the summer. Every summer i have to take mine off and reset them in place. My buddy has the same problem.

Right here: http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...9f555f8d57a537

Also, the Trans Am overlays will not fit the Camaro, and vice versa.

this is the 3rd summer they've been in my ss and the 1st in my b4c... both with the ta bezel and they haven't budged, and i think many other people would say the same thing.
regardless, even if they have moved it only makes sense that when you expose an adhesive to extreme heat for prolonged periods it will start to give a little.

I've had MacEwen gauges for almost 4 years now and haven't had one issue with them and my car sits outside. Luckily I got mine before this customer service went to ****.

I ordered some shift overlays back in Jan and got charged for them in Feb. He has yet to respond to any emails or phone calls...
Dont get me wrong, I have the HVAC and headlight control overlays and think they are great. Been in the car for several years now and have not had a problem with them, but this is just ridiculous that some people are getting the products and some still are not.

Here is a post of mine when I received them. I ordered the overlays thru ws6store.com and the bezel from macewen. I received them both very promptly and neither party was hard to get in touch with. Check out the pics of how they turned out. ws6store did my decals on the overlays. they look great!!!!!!!!
