90-92 Camaro White Face Gauges & Brushed Aluminum Trim
I got both off of ebay, all together it ran me $43.44 USD after shipping. I had to hand cut the hole for the fuel needle on the gauge set. Needles do not have to be removed to install these, which is great. lines up perfectly to OEM holes and fits like its stock. The brushed aluminum bezel is affixed with ultra thin double sided tape. The trim needed a light sanding to smoothe the edges of where the gauge openings were cut out, but other than that, its awesome!
The only thing that I did not like was the gauges come with a seperate on/off button, and dont power on via the headlight switch. I'm working on a fix for that, but I need it in the car to play with it more. All around, I'd say that the weren't the best of the best I have experienced. For the money, you cant beat it. It gives a totally new, awesome look to the 90-92 Camaro cluster!
White face gauges:
Ebay Seller ID: rmkspeed
Total Price After Shipping: $24.95 USD
Aluminum Cluster Bezel
Ebay Seller ID: fireandicemotorsports
Total Price After Shipping: $18.49 USD
All around, both are great items and make the stock cluster look 100% better than stock. I'm gonna toss it back in the car tomorrow so I can power it up. (I already tested it with a 12V power supply in the house... looks GREAT!)
Attached is what my cluster looks like after installing both items:

Looks great. I want to eventually order those, but I wasn't sure how good they'd look, but wow that really looks great. Post some pics once you get it installed in your car, that'd be great.

I just bought those same gauges off ebay myself. I also had to cut a hole for the fuel gauge, I just thought they forgot to cut mine. How did you manage to get those on without removing the needles? I think they're pretty good quality too, but paying $13.95 for shipping and when I got them, the shipping was only like $1.52, total ripoff

That looks really good.
Suggestion: Take it all apart again. I powered it up outside the car too, and figured everything would be okay because it looked good. What I forgot was that the brake, check engine, oil level, and infl rest lights light up on the gauges, not on the overlays. So, the openings for the words on the overlays have to line up exactly with the ones on the faces of the stock gauges. I made this mistake and didn't correct it until I took the whole dash out again, and it bugged me every time any of those lights were on. I just took apart the cluster, and held up each of the faces that lit up to the sunlight, so I could see through to make sure they lined up. They're perfect now.

i popped in the gauges and the letters didnt line up, I lined it up, and didnt like it because it was so dim, so i removed the factory overlay for the tach, now the letters light up white, but looks great and it more noticeable during the daytime.
While I was wiring my gauges, I went to power on the parking light wire in the kick panel, and grounded it with a self tapper in the kick. I pullled the carpet back and saw the ground underneath my car
Time to find another car. I just bought this one for $900, fixed the fuel leak, and I'll see if I can flip it for $1500. The body is in fair shape, As long as they dont look underneath the car, I'll get 1500 for it, I hope.
