White Guages

Hi guys, ive been looking into these set of white guages from Hawks and i have some questions.

http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/in...il?v=1&pid=587

"inlays" does that mean it replaces just the black piece or what. Im not exactly sure how these install as ive never taken apart the dash on my camaro.

Are these worth it? What color do they light up? Any pictures at night? Easy to install?

Id like anymore info that anyone has on these and personal experiance. I absolutely love the look and think they will go great with my white/red theme on the car.

Thanks, Steve

As far as I know these are inlays which mean they are like vinyl stickers that you affix over the gauge itself. Must be done correctly or you will get air bubbles. They will light up whatever color your bulbs are. I bought my inlays for 20 bucks on ebay but they were of a little lesser quality than Hawks. They still look good though. If you buy them just follow the instructions to the letter.

I've got Macewens Gauge Overlays....and they are by far the best out there. Very Very high quality, no fitment issues...no problems at all..worth the $100 bucks. This is one of those cases "you get what you pay for"

Everyone likes the macewens...duranged has the lesser quality overlays. They tend to be blurry. He needs to update his base photo for the gauges or get a better printer. As for the other ones you posted about I am not sure.

well now u got me thinking even more as i was gonna buy the duranged...i mean they are only 25$ which the saying you get what you pay for...i dont know if i want blurry i mean if they look like stock thatd be fine. Really not sure at this point the macewens look really good but are 85$ i beilive...thats alot more money.

Well thanks for you help anyway and am just curious if anyone else has had experiance with duranged and what they think thatd be nice.
