I just....I dont understand this white gauges phase...Our interiors are mostly black on the dash, why white? IMO it sticks out and is ugly, id rather change the yellowish lettering for like, the color of my car or something ?

Maybe i just think white gauges are tacky...Does anyone else feel the same way as me ?

You can make your own also. Check out camaroz28.com appearance section. You could put pictures of your car or a sunset or whatever you wanted. I'm going with all phantom gauges for my camaro.

I dont know about the rest of you, but I am gettin tired of people trying to make a buck off off gauges. I mean yes Macewens sells a really nice set of gauges (I have seen them up close) But these people who think they that printing them off thier printer on some photo paper is worth 10 bucks is crazy. I made my own gagues a few months back and they looked "OK" NO were near the quality of real gauge over lays. And they didnt hold up at all. I think people should stop trying to make a buck of off everything. And if people are ACTUALLY bidding on them, then I think they need a life. Just my 2 cents

Unfortunately, there's a lot of people within the thirdgen crowd that either can't afford the better stuff, or (most often) haven't yet learned the philosophy of getting what you pay for. Because of this, the low quality crap will continue to sell well.
