Matching Silver-Faced Gauges

I'm thinking about getting the silver faced Macewen Motorsports gauge overlays, but I want to make sure I will be able to find additional gauges (for a-pillar and such) that are available in silver-faced. If there is none, I might just stick with white; I'd like all of them to match!

So, if anyone knows about silver faced gauges that are available, please let me know!

The Autometer guages match perfectly.

Re: Matching Silver-Faced Gauges

So the Silver series and the Ultra-lites both have silver-faced gauges? It's really hard to tell on the site. Thank you for the input. I'm happy to hear this; I really like the look of the silver-faced gauges. Do you have silver-faced gauges? How do you like yours?

Yep.

Sure do, I got them from MacEwen and they are great. Be careful installing them, you gotta remove the bulbs from the rear and shine a light through to make sure that you get them lined up just right. I heard that it helps to lay down toothpics and then lay the faces over them, line them up perfectly while shining the light through the back and then pull the toothpics out. I should have done it this way but I heard the hint too late.

I have had the Autometer guages for a while, just haven't installed them yet. They match VERY closely, though.

Re: Matching Silver-Faced Gauges

Thanks for the tips. I've never shopped for guages before, so I'm not sure which ones to buy. What are the differences in those two lines? Just appearance? Which ones did you buy?
