Home made. I also made the scans myself. Very difficult, but worth it. After I put it in, the yellowish dimmers give it a yellow tint, so it goes real well with my yellow Camaro.

Looks good, any plans to paint the needles? I would imaginge its hard to see the white needle on a white overlay? I painted mine red, turned out pretty good.

Hey man it's rough how your other post was bashed into the ground! It got kinda classless at the end. I'm not much into the white face guages and think they'll be out of vogue soon, but it looks like you did a good job installing them. I'm thinking you could also either polish up the plexi in front of them to remove the scratches or replace it... and maybe paint the small screws white so they blend in(or whatever those small holes in the guage faces are, i have a bird myself so i'm not sure) . That'd make it look like a real clean job.

So that wheel polish works to polish out the plexi eh? Where can you get it, and does anyone else have any other remedies to fix a scratched cover?
And nice gauges, I just got some overlays installed last night and I love them. I was thinking I might paint the black screws white as said above, but they don't seem too bad so I may not.
And if you wanna paint the needles, just get a red Sharpie, it works wonders.

Yep, I used a red Sharpie and it worked great.
And before anyone says it (and someone will still mention it), I will say it now... the volts gauge has been fixed.
