Custom Gauge overlays!! A MUST READ.
hey whats up people.. im over at the Ls1tech, but ive had my share of thirdgens.. for those of you who want to get some custom, OEM style gauge overlays.. made from MACHINES not plastic or sticker.. there is a company, 6LE designs.. you can google them.. very reputable amongst muscle cars.. here is the link.. they are doing custom overlays.. well worth the price.. you can put whatever you want on them and they will make your gauge of your dreams come true.! check these links out as you can see more of their work..
heres their official website
http://6litereaterdesigns.com/store/
and here is some of his work (HERE YOU CAN SEE THE QUALITY OF THEIR WORK)
http://ls1tech.com/forums/appearance...on-thread.html
here is the link of them stating that they will no longer be making them.. so you wont ever get this quality again.. I DO NOT WORK FOR THEM, just a big fan, i actually just bought my very first custom gauges...

Thought he stopped making them in feb because he sold the machine that made them? Did he keep it?

Re: Custom Gauge overlays!! A MUST READ.
The buyers told them that they can keep them until the end of April. So no one will be able to order anymore after april.. So they still have the machines, so if you're restoring interior. You cant have a 'good' interior on your third gen with the stock gauges. Lol

Re: Custom Gauge overlays!! A MUST READ.
I would consider this in a heartbeat if i could also get needles as well but they dont offer them for third gens. Even then itd be cutting close to other nicer options (imo).

Re: Custom Gauge overlays!! A MUST READ.
If enough people want something. They always consider on making them. They do have 4th gen needles but who knows. Maybe all of thirdgen .org would like some needles

Re: Custom Gauge overlays!! A MUST READ.
I'd like just plain black ones instead of the stock checker backround in the Bird but is it me or is $250 + $25 shipping = $275 kinda expensive?

Re: Custom Gauge overlays!! A MUST READ.
I think if u just want nothing changed its 200 bucks. Yeah the price for me was high too. But considering the quality. I jumped on it in a heartbeat. They aren't the sticker overlays or anything like that. I'm pretty when they really stop making them they will be worth more on the re sale value since no one else has the quality they have at the moment.. I thought about it for like 3 nights lol price wise. But then I said what the heck.

I believe he also said you can work something out with him if you don't have the money at the moment.

I REALLY want the Cyberdyne Digital Dash, I'd pay whatever for that. There has got too be a warehouse full of those old dig dashes somewhere, probably stacked next to the lost ark.

Re: Custom Gauge overlays!! A MUST READ.
i was lucky to grab a set of cyberdyne firebird digital dash for $20 on ebay 6years ago. it wasn't labled digital dash or cyberdyne and it was a fluke that i clicked on it.
just timing and luck. the guy was parting out his car. gauges still work fine in my trans am, i called cyberdyne and they were able to send me the original wiring instructions
