Default Oppinions on these gauge overlays

Macewen Motorsports sells these gauges for 100 bucks with no decals on them. In silver of course,

Dyno pro Auto sells these same gauges with a firebird and WS6 logo on them
Which do you prefer? The dyno pro auto ones are $129. Also they now carry Headlight and Hvac overlays. [image]http://store5.yimg.com/I/macewenmotorsports_1734_8675842[/image] No logos again for $45 Dyno Pro Auto sells them with either Trans Am, Firebird, or WS6 logos for $55.
Too many decisions in life, anyways, whch ones do you guys like better? They carry all the overlays in white also if anyones interested, www.dynoproauto.com

The ones that Dyno sells are MacEwen gauges . He sells them to them. I would buy them from MacEwen and have Teri make you some custom gauge decals which she has done for a good number of people. Her email is tlane@spacehab.com

She's very quick at making the decals too! She's made me some caliper decals and for my boyfriend as well.

I know they are both made by Macewen but I'm just wondering if it's worth the extra $$$. I'm a broke *** High school kid . I just recieved my MBA red anodized aluminum Firebird logo shift **** yesterday though. So with the edition of Dyno Pro's and SPR's WS6 pedals, the firebird shift ****, and the HVAC control overlays in silver with a Trans Am across the top. And the gauge overlays with the WS6 and firebird logo, that should tie everything together pretty well . You guys agree?

Gauge overlays really set the interior off. Get them, get them, get them.

I installed mine about 2 weeks ago and I love them.

Do a search for teri9672, she can make any decal you want for them. I think she also sells the overlays.

Good luck,
Ulysses

I got the silver Macewens, very very nice, thats all I can say.

are the HVAC's Macewen's as well?

Those don't seem to match up as well as my Z28 overlays, not sure if its just because of the TA version though.

Yes the HVAC's are made by Macewen also. Again they're 45 from Macewen and 55 from Dyno pro Auto. But at dyno you get the choice of logos, ex. formula, ws6, trans am, z28, ss + They come with the headlight overlay. The overlays are different for the Camaro and Firebird I believe. Headlight + HVAC Overlays

Thanks,


What are your accent colors (if you have any), on the exterior of your car? IMO white goes good with red cars. It will brighten up the interior a good bit also.

Okay, I haven't tried very hard to figure it out on my own (other than doing a search on this site), and the overlays didn't come with directions...so MY question is: How in the hell do you install these little suckers? I have the heater and a/c overlays in addition to the headlight overlays...can somebody PLEASE point me in the right direction?
