I think McEwen Motorsports has them. Don't have the web address handy though.

Does anyone have pics of what these gauges look like at night? I might order some if I could see what they look like in the dark.

And if you want to change ethier the gauge face or backlit color I would go to www.blackcatcustom.com, they are a little more expensive but worth it to get exactly what you want.

I have the MacEwen guages, and the speedometer overlay doesn't line up right with the numbers. I know there are two different ones available for the 145 speedometer, but neither one fits my car right. There must actually be three different versions of the guage.

There are three revisions of the 1991 Camaro speedometers available.

Email me, and I make sure you get the correct part for your application.

I installed the Macewen gauges last night... Went really well, you need a steady hand to line them up though. I solved a few rattles while I was in there too . I even thought about maybe doing just the speedometer and tach or just the smaller gauges. Would be cool if you wanted to look different. They really look good, but I haven't seen them at night yet...?
