Default Retro Z/28 gauges?

Does anyone know if there is the stock black 150 MPH gauge out there with the retro Z/28 printed on it? Or on the RPM gauge?
Thanks

someone asked a similar question to this a few weeks ago... but asking for a firebird i think??

anyways, someone else suggested that it might be easier just to get a decal of the logo you want made. i think www.firebatscave.com does custom orders.

No, don't get the guages made, just the decal of the Z/28 for the guages.

I made decals for my gauges on my old car just using some clear address labels. I printed the logos on them and trimmed around the edges. Then I simply stuck them on. I used to get lots of compliments.

Black gauges w/ the 70 Z/28 logo would be bad ***!

I'd want something like that but w/ stock gauges, w/ the '70 Z28 emblem like I have on my car. I guess I could always buy some stockers and just put a decal on there and see how it looks.

I did some photo-editing of Mark's Z06 cluster and added a 1970 Z28 emblem to the tach.....just for my own curiosity.

This doesn't exist (yet!), so no one has one to sell.

Pic is in my sig, under "Custom Touches".

LS1BlackZ28,
I saw the picture that you posted. Mark sent me a picture of that same logo. I looked for your e-mail address but didn't find it. If you want to put it up I or Mark (I guess) could send it to you.

That sounds good. Send it to LS1BlackZ28@aol.com.

And Greg, that looks awesome! I would definitely buy something like that.

Thanks.....I kind of surprised myself at how well that turned out looking.

The one thing I don't like about all of the existing gauge treatments is the kph scale on the speedo....I know it's a must in Canada, but all it does in Texas is clutter up the instrument panel. I'd like to see some overlays that give the option of deleting it.
