Does anybody know of a place where i could get a set of white faced gauges for my 94 Z ?

Can it be done?

Please respond all comments welcome

 

Ebay has them. I got a set off of there for $35 shipped. They were the reverse glow kind and lit up blue. I loved them but i got rid of them when i got my TA dash. I would of gotten a set for my TA dash but they only have ones that light up blue, and that would of looked bad with the red lights of my TA interior. I believe i have some pics on the 4th page of my sig.

 

Wrong forum, should be appearence but,
I see em all the time on ebay as well. Not very costly at all

 

I noticed you live in Newton, I live in Inman if you still have them I would be interested in looking at them

what's the level of effort to install one of those in a 93-95?

 

No i'm sorry i don't have the white faced gauges anymore. I swapped in a Trans am dash and sold my old camaro cluster on Ebay. If you look at the gauges off ebay they are completely white around the SES light area and the odometer area. If you look at the pics on my site mine are black in this area. You have to cut out the SES light area and the odometer area off your old black cluster and put them on top of the new gauge overlays.

 

The ones on eBay are usually pretty tacky. I got mine at http://dynoproauto.com/gauges1024.htm they offer all years of camaro/firebird.

This is my car:

Have you seen the Ebay ones in person? i don't think the ones i had for my Camaro cluster looked bad at all. The link you posted didn't even show any 93-96 Camaro cluster. Those just look like Macewen gauge overlays with decals on them, and those aren't that great either.

 

They may not have shown a pic but they carry them, I know because we have gauges for a '93 formula from them...the difference between these gauges and MacEwen is that you actually get these within a reasonable amount of time, not months. Customer service was great too. Those are not decals on the gauges, it is part of the gauge overlay itself.

I don't know about the quality of the eBay gauges but I don't like the look of them at all, I saw your pix. I like Dyno Pro's because it is almost verbatim to a stock gauge, with the colors reversed. To each their own though...

 

Can you tell me exactly where you got them on ebay? Store?
Also i need to upgrade to the 150 speedo any surprises that i need to be aware of before i make a commitment on the swap

 

The Ebays aren't bad for the money. A 93 Formula is different than a 93-96 Camaro, which i said earlier. 93-02 Firebirds/TA's have pretty much the same cluster, and its very similar to the 97+ Camaro, all of which is very different from the 93-96 Camaro.

 

I believe you just get a 150mph speedo and plug them in. You will still want to get your car reprogrammed so you don't have that 110mph speedo. I'll try to find you a link.

Those don't look bad, but they aren't reverse glow, i guess it depends on what you want. I can't really find any of the reverse glow ones for 150 mph that i got.

 

Wow, I really like those. That's exactly what I want right there. What's the deal on installation? Is it entirely possible to do it myself or would that be stupid to attempt for a guy that doesn't really know much about doing stuff like that?

 

The ebay ones usually are crap. Most of them are made by APC and other similar rice boy companies, so they don't look right, and have that typical 'bottom shelf at Pep-Boys' look to them.

Those look good. But on the site it says NO REMOVAL OF GAUGE NEEDLES NEEDED FOR INSTALL

How do they figure?
