Very happy with my NR white faced gauges, pic inside.

I got these from summit for $95. Fits 1993-1996 Camaro Z/28.

Link to picture

I did have kinda a hard time putting them in. The dash was kinda a bitch to take apart(and this coming from a guy who takes dashes apart all day at work). The instructions said to make a note of how the gauges sat with the key on before dash removal, then disassemble gauge cluster, remove needles, install white face, plug dash back into car and put needles back on with the key on. Due to time constraints I didn't have enough time to let the motor cool all the way down so I couldn't get the temp gauge right. I decided to pull the cluster apart and do my best to reassemble it on the table. I got the speedo, tach and voltage right on. The oil press gauge is off by about 5psi which I'm about to fix, gas gauge is off and temp guage I got half right!! I just took the cluster out again, it will be much easier today since I have light(was working in the garage at night last night). I'm going to try and put some of the needles on with the key on, we'll see how it goes.

Edit: when I tried the link it came up a tad smaller than I sized it today. If you roll your mouse over the pic an icon will pop up in the lower left corner, click it to show the pic full size in better resolution. <disclaimer> your browser may vay</disclaimer>

I bought the same gauge face as well for my 98, lights up blue. I don't like the NR logo on the face though so I haven't even touched it yet. Instead I bought the whole Macewen Motorsports deal.. bezel, lens, and gauge face. Im much happier with it and even installed it the day I got it. Now I have the NR gauge face sitting here in my garage. Oh well.

Will see what I can do. I was afraid they would be ricey blue lights, but it's pretty close to silver.

Hehe, got the gauges fixed. That was kinda a bitch but oh well!

Here's a pic at night- http://forums.speednutz.com/album_page.php?pic_id=185


On the tachometer it gets a little dark above 3000rpm for some reason, but it's not as noticeable in person. The color is a little more bright than the picture depicts but oh well.
