^^You could always just stick with your stock gauges, add a Yellow Phoenix (bird) Vinyl decal to it, and change your stock lighting behind the gauges to LED's!
Just a suggestion

i'll save you the trouble of trying to get ahold of that guy, there are two different versions of macewen overlays. the older version of his overlays have tabs on the side that are used to stick the overlays on. those type of overlays are known for the exact problem that has occured to you, they eventually shift (hence why there's a new kind). the newer style uses strips of adhesive (like double-stick tape) on the back of each overlay to stick them on. he told me that with this adhesive (not only does it stick better), but you can readjust the overlays as many times as you want. when i installed them i was able to do just that, to get them perfect. so if you have the newer style overlays then you should be able to take them off and stick them back on. although you need to be careful and do it very slowly or you might crease the overlays. with the older style, i'd just clean up the tabs, and put some double-stick molding tape on them and slap them back in.
By the way, im glad you guys picked up on selling these. as far as i can tell they are the best looking out there. i also got the HVAC and headlamp switch overlays in silver for the Z. Looks killer.

since this thread was bumped.............
i adjusted mine, they had drooped ALOT. took me about ten minutes to re adjust all of them. the double sided adhesive left alot of residue underneath so all i needed to do was peel them up a little bit and reposition them so that i could see the white stock speed and rpm bars through the clear macewen gauges. pretty sure 97-02 all had the same gauges, atleast my early 98 did
