and these problems are all based upon the buyer's accurate order information, correct? (ie:ACCURATE year and info?)
Because i am still waiting, but these horror stories are weighing out over success stories...and it is making me nervous.

If you want to get MacEwen's, go through WS6store.com. Not only will you save money, you will also avoid having to deal with MacEwen's "slow" service. This may have been due to their recent move to Tennessee. Nonetheless, when I ordered the gauges for my 1998, which WS6store.com did not stock due to low order demand vs. 2000-2002, they were special ordered and shipped from MacEwen. I received my gauges in three days.
I first ordered a set of silver gauges about a year and a half ago, but returned them. Six months ago, I ordered a set a white gauges. There was a major difference in quality. These gauges were of much better quality and a heavier material than the first set of gauges I ordered. I'm not completely certain if there was a change made to all gauges, but regardless, I am a very satisfied with the fit and quality.

I can say that the guy with the "application kit" on ebay, absolutely, does not know F-bodys. Every variation of clusters has been researched and R&D'ed. We even have an alternate fuel overlay for late 1997-1998 Camaro models. Yes, there were two different fuel ranges in production. We include this extra overlay for our late 1997-1998 Camaro customers.
If you look closer at other companies claims of "fitment", and even closer at some installers claims of "accuracy," if you observe an extra cost, it is due to the time spent making sure our product works, and the quality of materials. No calibration or fitment issues, period.
Late (with digital odometers) 1997-98 models are different in about 20 ways than 1999-2002 dials. Warning/high beam in tach for starters.
Will it physicall fit? sure. Is it correct? Well, I would NOT have added yet one more part (2 more counting +1997-1998 silver) to my offerings/list of part numbers if it worked.
If you have ANY questions, shoot me an email. rmacewen1@yahoo.com

If a camera moves when aperature is open, things will blur. Perhaps that could be understood.

I am very sorry you had a poor experience and my product.
I would be happy to have refunded your purchase if you simply returned them.
Attacking my products and me on every F-body (ls1.com, ls1tech.com, camaroZ28.com) forum where I have roots, isn't exactly fair.
I deal with everyone honestly and squarely. I have been difficult to get a hold of at times, and that has caused headaches for customers, resellers, and myself. However, there are fantastic online resellers, like ws6store.com, who keep my product stocked, and provide great service, when I cannot.
The greatest feature of my design, IMO, is the ability to uninstall them and go back to stock, if that is most desirable at time of resale.
I spent some time as an installer, in college. I always thought there was a better way. In my opinion, and in the eyes of 2200 customers, I have found it. I used to make replacement faces. But found a better way. I just couldnt stomache seeing F-body guys ripping apart the cluster of their future classic. I love these cars. I am very happy with the solutions I offer. That is why I put my name on them.
