Sweet!! Looks nice, Tom!
I have been deciding between the white or silver overlays myself. My formula is black w/all black interior. I have an Autometer phantom series white face trans temp gauge on the A-pillar, but I think the white faces would be way to much contrast.
Tom, you just helped me make my decision!

Just got them installed. They match the Ultralite pod gauges perfectly.

Powermite: judging by the look of your interior, you shouldn't have any problem installing them. BTW, your interior looks awesome!!
Only thing I can suggest, in addition to MacEwens excellent instructions, is to also go ahead and remove the top dash pad. Makes it easier to remove the gauge lenses and covers.
If you are getting the 1 piece fuel and pressure covers, you will need to remove one needle. Use something that can pull it from behind. I used an interior snap puller and it worked fine. Now when you put the needle back, after installing the gauge face, I recommend you power up the guages first, and place the needle pointing in what you know for sure is the correct orientation. I.E., full gas, or 1/2 tank, you know what I mean?
