Are you tired of those dull yellow gauges that our cars came with and looking for something extra to make your car unique and eye catching? Would you be interested in installing reverse style gauges in your car? If so then you are in luck because I recently contacted SR Motor Sports and convinced them to add the following vehicle models to their development program:


1990–1992 Chevy Camaro RS 120 MPH
1990–1992 Chevy Camaro IROC Z-28 140 MPH


What is a model development program you might ask? Well it goes something like this:

(1) SR Motor Sports adds the above listed models to their development program (done).
(2) Ten people fill out the secure form on the SR Motor Sports website and agree to buy a set of reverse style gauges for 69.99 each.
(3) SR Motor Sports then mass produces the requested Gauges and ships out our orders.
(4) Everyone installs their gauges and is extremely happy because they look absolutely amazing in our cars. (A friend of mine bought reverse style gauges from this company before and they do look very cool)

Be sure to fill out the buy in form on their site because they won’t make the gauges until ten people agree to buy them. I have already signed up for the 140 mph speedometer version.

Additionally we do have some control over the colors they use so please give me some input as to what colors you would like to see the gauges made in.

If you have any questions post them here or e-mail me.

 

How do they look during the day ?

 

They are pure white during the day just like your traditional white face gauges.

 

What about us Pontiac guys?!?

www.procarparts.com has had them for awhile. its where i've got mine. I've had them for quite awhile. Mine are silver faced by day and reverse glow by night.

 

Ya, Ive seen them. But, they only have 120mph. Freagin sucks.

Brian

 

Contact SR Motor Sports just like I did and they will tell you how to get your vehicle added.

 

Something just dawned on me. The reverse-lit indiglo is going to make it impossible to see the needles.

Has anybody sucessfully retrofitted some lit needles into a thirdgen?

 

I don't think that is going to be a problem; SR Motor Sports has made gauges for many late model cars without any problems. Additionally I am going to have to send them the whole gauge cluster for each model that I had them add so that they can make sure everything is perfect. Of course I am not happy about sending them my 140 mph z28 gauge cluster.

 

What about for 87 IROCs with the 145 MPH Speed-o's?

 

You would have to contact SR Motor Sports yourself and see if they would be willing to add your vehicle to the model development program. Their are certian requirement that must be met and you would have to send them a gauge cluster for the vehicle in question to use when they make the gauges.

I only have access to gauge clusters for the two vehicles that I had added.

 

They have 140, http://www.procarparts.com/store/dis...SVGW-14V8-RVGX

Not that it matters but, the tach is 5ooo redline and mine is 55oo. I that blue color but, I don't care much for the white (or silver I guess) faces.

 

Sweet. I have been checking them every once in a while and I guess they finally wanted to make me happy
Thanks man.

Brian

 

What's that got to do with not being able to see the needles? Don't forget that thirgen needles are not lit. They use conventional lighting that shines on the front of the gauge in order for the needles to be seen. If you take that away, and use this reverse-indiglo, the needles will be dark, and most of the background will be dark. The needles will be virtually impossible to see.

 

I am almost positive that mine are lit; perhaps I am wrong. I will check tonight.

Anyways even if they are not lit I am sure we could figure something out. I know we have tackled much larger problems on this board.

 

I have yet to see a thirdgen with stock lit needles. But, I think in the pics, the needles are not on the gauges. That is what all of the pics look like. I have seen pics of these gauges in cars and they have the stock needles in them and you can see them fine.

Brian

 

My needles light up.

 

But to they light up because of the light bulbs in the back shine through the needle and make it "light up"?
Thats how all of the needles on thirdgens I have seen are.
Mine used to "light up" orange when the lights were stock, and now that I have blue LEDs, they "light up" blue.
Brian

 

Yea, the light behind ther guages shines thru the needles. I guess the other kind is, the light shines thru a ring around the guages like auto meter guages. the needles are red or orange

 

so can ya see the needles with the things or not? yeesh.

-JT

 

buy some clear glow in the dark model paint. Get blue to match or something

 

I have a 92 and their are lights behind the needles that make them light up and since the reverse style gauges dont interfer with those lights the needles will light up.

 

I've got an 87 and have contacted this company and they want to know what model years the 87 145 mph stlye covers, and want me to send in a cluster to them.

So does anyone know what years the 87 style covers? And is anyone else here have this style that is interested in a set of these?

I am considering buying all ten sets for myself, or just paying the developement costs if they will give me exclusive rights to this design, and then I'll resell them on ebay unless others want to join in on this.

Anyway I've lived with what I have for 16 years now, but it would be nice to have the indiglo overlays.

 

Alloy,

I would be interested. I know we could get at least 10 orders for these. If not, I would be willing to go in with you to pay for it and sell them. If you get some info, PM or email me with it. Thomas

 

Thomas,

I agree is shouldn't take long to get 10 people. It's only been an hour or so since I posted this and with me and you we already 20% of the people we need for this.

Do you know what years this design will cover? That's one of the questions they asked of me.

Dan

 

Nope, not too sure, but I bet we can find the info on this site. I will do a search and see what I come up with. If I find anything for sure, I will PM or email you. See what you can find and let me know the same way. No use in taking up space here.

 

If they work for an 88 I'll go in also. Let me know.

 

For anyone interested in the 86-87-88-89 style cluster indiglo gauge overlays, please go to this post and sign on for a set.

Come on people we only need 10 buy-ins to get production started; I already made the first buy-in for the 1990 - 1992 z28.

I am sure there are a lot of people that would buy these gauges and if you one of them you need to make a buy-in or they will never go to production.

Its only $69.99, thats not bad for the product they are selling and I know they do a good job because one of my friends has gotten reverse style gauges from them for a different model car.

 

what about the 82-89 people? I have a 89 and looking for new gagues.the

 

Jersey, look at the thread linked above. We are doing the older style guages. Take a look, and if you like what you see, make sure you post that you want a set for sure. If you know anyone wanting the 90-92 style, point them to this thread. Prostitute has already got them going.

 

1st---Do you place these new gauges over the old ones, Like my white Macewen Gauges, Or do you take out the orig. gauges.

2nd---My 91 RS has a 110mph speedo, not 120mph as stated in the first post???? Was that a miss type???

3rd---The 90-92 needles light up from behind, unlike the previous years that shine light on them from the front.

How many people do you have so far?

 

These aren't really "new" gauges per say. They are overlays that go over the stock gauge face like the vinyl stickers, and wire into your dash light power. There ia a button or type of switch that lets you pick from I believe 6 different lighting colors.

 

describe the 86-89 cluster... i have an 86 Camaro SC; i'd be interested in the gauges if they apply to me

 

CaysE

Go to to see a pic of the 86-89 cluster.

https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=167042

 

I just put my "pre-Buy" in for the '92 V6??? 120mph version. Mine is a 305 V8 RS, but I assume they are the same cluster. Oh, FYI, all the 91-92 guages have needles lit from the back.

 

I've got another guestion about the these gauges, Do they use the light from the dash (light up from behind with the original lights) or does it have its own light supply.

 

Our guages are so much cooler and light up so much better there's no need to upgrade

 

Yes the 91 RS listing as having a 120 mph speedo instead of a 110 speedo is a misprint; I will have them fix the error shortly.

 

Well I just filled out the 'buy in' form for the 90-92 Z28 140 mph guages. I'm the guy that already converted my dash to blue and red LEDs, but I'm really curious how these would look

So now you got 2 buyins!

 

Thanks. Now we only have eight more to go!

 

Does anyone know where the color changer/dimmer switch go?

 

I believe you can wite it in so that it works with your factory headlight switch...

 

i thought they came with a dial looking thing that you mount under your dash somewhere.

 

I'm in just filled out the form for 86-89.

 

Those idiots still haven't updated the count yet ??? It's still 1 of 10 !

 

i like the 2-color style alot better where the whole gauge glows. I have a 90 rs 110 is ne1 interested in this style http://www.streetracerparts.com/2color_style.htm check it out. My friend has them in her car they look sweet.Also they r a lil cheaper and i would love to have a set and there really bright.

 

Maybe you should send them an email asking whats going on? Their email is at the bottom of the buy-ins page.

 

I know 2 other people with 90-92 rs that would get that style so theres 3 alrdy post if ur interested also. Im gonna call today

 

If we don't buy these now, does that mean that we'll never get a chance to buy them again?
