While it may sound steep please bear in mind that it is a face replacement not an overlay. The gauge needs to be removed and sent to them where they remove the stock face and install the new one. I've seen the stick on type of gauge faces and that's not something I'd really want to pursue with the car but a full replacement is far more likely to be something we'll be happy with in the long run.
No matter how yellow or carbon you make/have the dials they will never look like the one below I think that paying $629 for just the speedo and tach is way to much Image Unavailable, Please Login
Agree, dont want to waste a set of gauges on less then great replacements Would love to see his work eye to eye, I see my white gauges while I sleep LOL
Sorry I haven't updated this in a few days but the prices quoted are correct. I'm not 100% sure I'm going to move forward or not but here is the contact info if anyone is interested. BTW, they've been very easy to work with and seem eager to do a good job. Evan George Katsouridis Cell: 310.722.0671 I EMail: [email protected] I Web: http://www.eyezongauges.com
I feel the same way not sure if I want them now, to many other 355 projects I want to spend money on. If the price was better it would be an easier choice. Maybe later.
Thanks Monteman for solving my problem. I always found the speedo and tach too dark to read easily unless the instrument lights were on. Never occured to me to change the faces . There are home made and not professional grade, but damn if they aren't easy to read Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thanks. Driving this weekend it was a revelation.... I could actually easily read the tach and speedo. Since my car has a black interior, it adds a little bit of color interest too.
Not quite that fancy. I removed the instrument faces, took that to a print shop, and had them change the colors and print them on shiny thick paper. Looked great untill I found out the original faces are translucent... the instrument lighting shines through from behind....oops! So I ran the printed faces through a copier on "light" twice to just get the black printing. Then hit Staples for yellow plastic divider and clear labels that you can run through a copier. Then printed the black numbers on the sheet, stuck it on the plastic divider, and cut it out with scissors and X-acto knife. For backing I used a piece of thin plexiglass. Cutting the odometer holes took a few %$&^ tries. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
For anyone who wants to play with the numbers here's what I used. Don't know if photos help or not Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I would go for the yellow tach only, matching the font of original so it looks same as the speedo but yellow. Would I pay $300+ for that? Probably.
