The ebay gauges are the streetracerparts.com gauges... Just wait for them to put them on ebay and you pay half the price. FWIW, they are actually gen I gauges with all the smaller hash marks(just happen to light up in the gen II color and blue)... The gen I and II gauges are pretty much the same

Speedhut also makes them and you can have them done anyway you want. You can find them at www.speedhut.com if you are interested. They go for $80 for the basic setup and you can go up fro mthere. The quality for them is great and they have good customer service as well. Check my signature for my set.

Gen 2 read the 100k mark...gen ones dont...
i don't get that, cause mine reaches the 100k mark and past... or is that only because its a canadian one with Kms instead of miles?

$80+ vs. $25... ehh.. I like the cheaper one as it is OEM style and the Speed Hut ones are not...

I got mine from www.NRAuto.com at $125 shipped but has now 2yrs later from when I bought it been reduced to $107.

Mine: Dash
Radio3

Nice basic white faced gauges, only problem I had with them was you really have to pay attention in the daytime to read/see the idiot lights, but very high quality product not thin and cheap.

Use a red permanent marker/felt tip pen something in the color you want and that will not rub off too easily The light will shine though just fine... I'm sure others will chip in and say what they have used or look at this article here somewhere on this page it says what you should use...
Good luck!!! thumb

those work, but they are not the second gen design, they are the 90-91 design, and i dont think im feeling the whole glowing thing. also if the needles glow orange, what color do they glow if you paint them red??

SHOman24v, the differences between the GEN 1 and 2 gauges are the hash marks only, the odometer slot is the same for the 99,999 of the Gen 1 and the 999,999 of the Gen 2. I know this because I put a Gen 1 face onto a Gen 2 speedo so that I could get rid of the ugly orange mark at 55mph, and get the green backlighting but still keep the 999,999 odometer. The Gen 1 dials on the odometer are just slightly wider to take up more space. If you want just the numbers to glow, but want the white background and black lettering, it can't be done. If you'd be ok with a white background and dark blue lettering(or a few other colors), you can get them from speedhut, you can also choose from a few different fonts. You need the reverse glow gauges and they are the only company that offers them. If you're not sure if you'll like the look, try and find a new Cobra or Lightning and look at their gauges at night, IMO they look great! I don't like the normal "entire gauge glow" look, I find them way to bright and distracting at night. The NR gauges that RI-SHO has are exactly like stock, but they are just stickers and not actual layered gauge faces. I've seen what they look like at night on other some other SHOs, and I was not impressed at all.

Edit: I just found these, http://www.angelfire.com/home/SH0ckforce/Modifications/ELDash/Index.html Those are the speedhut gauges. You can also customize them so you don't have to have and extra logos, but you can't get rid of the speedhut logo on the gas/temp gauge. :( Hope all of this helps.
