One of the "premier" manufacturers of guage faces will do a run of silver faces (like RagSS - no signatures of course) if we can get 25 people interested. These are not overlays, so it's a little harder to do but if you saw Kevins you know the results - excellent!
So any interest? Update Thanks for the feedback. Here's the deal, I was telling the manufacturer about the interest here and he was giving me a lesson in gauge faces. It seems that many of the gauge faces - like Kevins - are special runs - different combinations of colors and gradients. I learned that Pontiacs increment in 5 MPH lines, Chevys have a line for each MPH, there are differnces in how the red areas of the guages are displayed, Berger moves the red line slightly, etc. The SSOA logo would be too time consuming and expensive to screen onto the gauge face (maybe we can get Teri to do something). Anyway, in the end, he agreed to run silver gauge faces for Camaros. Won't be quite like Kevins because his was a special run, but black numbers on silver with the KPH lighting up amber at night and the rest the standard chevy white/blue. I think they will look great. He expects them to be out in a few weeks. So keep checking nrauto's website, he promised to post them as soon as they are ready. The price should be similar to the white face gauges currently available.

...The silver does look awsome (Thanks Rich), ...If this run of 25 does take place, ...see if they'll include a 'screened' logo of some sort. (Silver faced gauges with the SSOA logo ... , ... )

See this thread .

Right, so if you look at Kevin's at the top of the post - it's like that without the Tom Henry logo (and the signatures of course).
Posted by sscamaro (Member # 1330) on :
I might be interested,depending on the price.
Posted by HTWLSS (Member # 117) on :
We'd be interested as long as we don't need to alter our original.
Posted by OBSSD (Member # 1258) on :
Hmmm...curious. Too bad I didn't get to see Kevin's. How do they install if they're not overlays?
Kevin, do you have any pics?

Depending on prices I would consider.
Posted by DaddySS (Member # 848) on :
Here's the link to the Camaro white face gauge. The price is pretty reasonable. You remove your stock face and install the new face.

It looks good!! Thanks, Kevin!! Posted by 35TH ED/ed (Member # 1709) on :
Not a bad price at all. For less than $150 .
Posted by DanPazich (Member # 1352) on :
Hmmm, I dunno...I was going to do some kind of mod this month sicne I will have 3 paychecks instead of 2 adn looking to spend 100-150 on something. Was really leaning towards the SLP short shifter and lou's short stick since I have the base stock "long" shifter. Hmmmmm

Hey Rich.. you saw my MacEwen's at Bear Mountain a while back, didn't you?
Removing the needles scared me away from using the NR gauge faces. I would love to see them when you get their new silver face installed.

not close up, but gives you the idea. I already printed some ssoa logo's small enough for gauges and it looks killer Posted by DaddySS (Member # 848) on :

Mike - yes, I saw yours and they look excellent - I wanted to keep the lit icons though and get something a little different with the amber kmh at night.
