Just a FYI. I bought these gauges and they do not fit. $ or 5 of the lights are in the wrong place and there is no hole for the tach pin at the bottom. They are a big POS and they do not accept returns.

DO NOT BUY THESE!!

Yeah I noticed the no hole situation... and you're right about some of the lights not matching.

Not to sound dickish, but thanks for being the guinea pigs. These gauges look really cool and I was about to pull the trigger on a blue set for my firebird. That's really shitty that they wont stand behind their product. Oh well. Money too be spent somewhere else, like H/C/I.

Try blackcatcustom.com. I don't know if they can do indiglo but they make custom gauge faces for a number of different vehicles and they will customize to your specs (color, font, etc.). I had one made for my Mustang. They sent me several images beforehand until we got the font and style exactly the way I wanted it. Then the fit and finish of the final product was excellent. It's one of my favorite appearance mods because it's in front of you all the time you're driving.

Awesome man, thanks for the information!! I was so disappointed when I get those gauges in because of the fit and no holes and lights where they are supposed to be, they had to come right back out. Ill give those guys a shout.

DO NOT BUY THESE!!
File a dispute with PayPal if you got them on eBay. Even if they dont accept returns you can get them on the fact that the item was misleading or not as described. PayPal will honor it as I've had to do this before.

I got some white face indiglo gauges from eBay a long time ago for my Camaro. I cut them down (Didn't like the indiglo for the warning lights/odometer areas) and used a bezel from a firebird for the trim around the faces. I think it looks pretty good

After all these years... I sold the Camaro, but I had these guage overlays laying around. Nobody wanted them on Ebay for an entire year, so I ended up throwing them away. The irony...
