WhiteGauges.net. Buy from this guy A+

I did my white face gauges like 3-4 years ago. At the time I didnt think id ever upgrade from a 80mph speedo to a 145. Well I did and contacted this guy after all this time he said he would just send me the speedo cover at like 80% off since I bought already in the past. Sweet so I get the cover (fast shipping) and its not the same as the speedo I have. I sent him a picture and he told me it was an after market and he could make me one from the picture I sent. I just got the right one. Its a one off for him and god bless this guy he never charged me extra. So all that trouble and I only paid $4. Now thats service. Buy from this guy people. He never once seemed irritated or anything. Just A+ all the way.

Re: WhiteGauges.net. Buy from this guy A+

I really like what I see on that site, especially the white face gauges for Camaros, and the glow wire. It's cheap, when my IROC is eventually 100% torn down and heading to the paint shop, I might send off my gauge cluster too. It'd be neat, and most of all, something interesting to post about!

Speaking of paint, I didn't even notice it was 4:59 A.M. I drive myself crazy trying to choose a color for my IROC. Black, or resprayed factory Ultra Blue, such a tough decision.

By the way, did anyone else notice the background on that site that moves side to side along with the mouse? I was amused by it for over 2 minutes. LOL.

Re: WhiteGauges.net. Buy from this guy A+

I cant find the pics with the old speedo in the car but I will post the new stuff (not yet installed).

You dont send your gauges off to this guy you have to do it yourself. Its not hard. The stickers need to be damp and they stick a lot better. I got mine wet and they have yet to come loose. Since the needles are white too I colored the tips with red marker and it looks great. Also bought the red leds and no trouble from them either.

You will have to work out the custom work with them yourself. Not sure. He did it for me though.

Yeah they can do custom work for a price tho.My friend had him make a white face for the clock in his 71 mustang to match his gauges.The clock face was like 10 bucks not bad really.

K here's the finished product. Very easy to install and fit perfect. Hard to believe its that good since all I sent him was a picture of the speedo. Pretty amazing.

Re: WhiteGauges.net. Buy from this guy A+

I also recommend this company, my gauges look great now. They have a good variety of custom colors you can get other than white, but they cost a little more. I ordered brushed silver and am really happy with them. The only problem I had was when applying the decal to the tach, there are some little bumps on the tach where the faceplate mounts to everything behind it and they showed through - I circled them in yellow on the first pic. Luckily the kit comes with two tach decals, so I ended up using some epoxy to glue the tach to the plate from the back, then grind the tabs down and re-applied the extra tach decal I had. It looked a lot better then (third picture). I also recommend painting your needles if the new color is much different than original, I painted mine black so they would show up better

I also put in some white xenon bulbs while I had it apart, so it has a nice glow at night.

Looks good. Heres some more pics of what mine look like. You can kinda see what I did with my needles in the pic with the red led's off. I took a red marker and colored the tips with it. I also colored my bulbs with the marker to get the three gauge cluster to light in red. I put it under the center vents. I need to pull the bulbs for that cluster and re coat though cause the red ink is burning off. In the pic they matched perfect.

LOL Never mind the pic is way too small to see sht. Not too good with computers. How do u add bigger pictures?
