Those look great! Was it a private party selling them or a Company on ebay? I would really love to get some gauges like that, but i only have the 140kph (85mph) speedo in my iroc.....anybody know where to get some? and by the way, I would like for mine to glow like yours do at night. Was there any special bulbs for it or just stock?
thanks
once again, looks great!

Difference in overlays

ok they look really sharp, does anyone have a pic of their guages with the reverse halo package from http://www.streetracerparts.com/mode...82_89_Iroc.htm installed? i think the picture may not do it justice. i also dont understand what the street racer faces do that the one on ebay doesnt?
i am hoping someone has a picture of the street racer guages on their 85-89 iroc so that I can see if it looks sharper and better than the picture provided on the internet on streetracer com.

if it has been posted before, does anyone know where the url is?

Also where can i find that neon paint, cause those red needles are SHARP!!!!! and you say the needle is supposed to glow? my lights are only shining from the side of the guages, not actually IN the needle itself, are my bulbs just burnt out or something?

thanks guys

if i have to, i wonder if i could buy the street racer package, and use the inverter from it, and then put the neat overlays from ebay on the guage face itself? or would that work right? would i be losing functionality? sorry this stuff is new to me.... and *** I GOTTA get someone to make me an aluminum ring set for my guages and the console lke that english guy with the firebird did!
