...on my red formula.

Kinda like the GTOs. Does anyone make these? I would sure like to buy some red gauge overlays.

That would be cool. I wish we had a member here that could make things like this!

Spoke with NRAUTO and they said no to making red faced gauges for my Pontiac, just for Porsches.

Spoke with US Speedo, They only make red faced gauges for cool cars like Pontiac Sunfires.

I REALLY want a set for my red Formula, does anyone here have the resources to do this??

I'm going to talk to a friend of mine when we have a club meeting this Sunday. He owns the GTZ with orange faced gauges, I'll see where he got them done.

Re: Red faced gauges would be cool..

man I never thought of that, it would look so much better than white or silver! The only problem would be the red lighting on red overlays like when it's raining and you turn your fog lights on...wouldn't that be a problem or strain on the eyes? just thought of something while writing that....reverse indiglo style red faced gauges!

There is not a single white piece inside or outside my car. White gauge faces would look like sh*t. Red face gauges would look awesome.

Re: Red faced gauges would be cool..

I've never been into white face guages either. Silver would be nice also.

Re: Red faced gauges would be cool..

I had come across a link within this forum that was a website that custom made whatever color and style gauges you wanted.
I vaguely recall being able to "design" through a web interface color, font style, back lit color, and what the middle of the RPM and speedometer gauges said -similar to the GTZ pictured above with the chevy emblem and GTZ on the gauges.

The trouble is I can't seem to come up with the URL from a forum search here, and I didn't mark it -as they weren't something I would purchase.

Maybe this'll jog someone elses brain and get a proper URL.

I remember that.. it was www.speedhut.com. I don't think they offer custom gauge faces anymore.

Yep, while I don't recall the name Speedhut, that IS the interface I remember.
They do still offer custom gauges -just not for Fbodies, evidentally.

Maybe email or call them -they may have one or five left?!?!
