I think they would make a better upgrade for me than indiglo....and would set off my black interior nicely thumbs_u

I have the overlays but haven't put them on yet. There for my black '91. They look like there good quality, being all brushed aluminum and all. The only thing is that the part that goes around the steering wheel is a little off-set, but other than that, they look sweet!

They might look good in my white '94, I've got a aluminum shifter ****....

I got them and put them on in about 15 min,looks ok with tan interior.

I was looking at those a few days ago. I had bought the indiglos off ebay and noticed that they don't come with the dummy light overlays. The regular overlays do though. Now if i can find some of the dummy overlays by themselves i'd be set.

Well, I must be the dissenter. I got one.

I had the NR Auto / CincySHO white gauge faces, liked it with the black stock gauge panel. I put the Speedhut aluminum panel on there, & to me it looked like BUTT.

The idiot light holes are too small - I have a "hec ngin" light. The directional indicator also was cut off a bit. I was going to pull it off once I got home from Carlisle, but I don't have to worry about it now.

Thanks for putting another perspective on them fred, I don't want gauges that look like butt squint Especially if its gonna cost me about 30 bucks.

If I get up to see the car again anytime soon, I'll take a digi-pic of the gauge cluster for you.

Don't get me wrong, Speedhut made a good solid product - the aluminum is a decent quality piece, with no scratches, etc.; I think they would just need to redesign it a smudge to make the cutouts a little bigger.

I also bought the aluminum guage panel and have yet to install it with the indiglo guages. I too was wondering how it would look with white faces. If you do get pics that would be great.

I agree with Fred. My friend just got the overlay, and the spots are too small. The needles on the fuel actually hit the aluminum overlay, and stick. Also, In my opinion it looks kinda out of place (weird color).

I've got em' i think they look pretty good myself. i am going with an entire aluminum accented interior. so they will look really good in the long run. here is a pic of it for you. very easy install. took me 5 min.

thanks for all the replies guys, after seein what they look like against the stock gauges, I don't think I like em. I'll just spend another 30 and get the indiglo gauges thumbs_u

I saw Fred`s in person,and the square cut outs are WAY to small.It just doesn`t look right.

I stuck with my factory overlays and the white faced Speed Hut gauges.. You could just buy some self-stick vinyl and apply it, then cut it to shape. They sell many faux patterns like wood and carbon fiber too.

how bout when you guys are in there putting white faces on, you could paint the stock overlay. you could do it any way you like.
