EDIT: SEE POST #16

Looking to get a set of white face gauges for my '04 GT.

I want something that does NOT require the removal of needles, and something that doesn't look like it belongs in a Honda like this....

Looking for something more subtle like this...

WhiteGauges.net has a ebay store too. Put the covers in my Camaro 3 years ago and bought a 145 speedo last month. Well I got a hold of the guy and he sent me a the right face plate for it for only $4 since I was a return customer. What was real cool about that was the fact that he made the cover from just a pic I had emailed him of the after market speedo. So it was a one off deal. Very cool guy. I will add pics. Not sure where the stang covers came from since my dad put them on but they look cheap.

more of the finished product. Cant see in the pic but I colored the tips of the needles with red marker so they are easy to see. The guy also sold me the red led's.

You could do a Cobra cluster.

The Simco gauges you can't go wrong with.
Many people have used them with success.
I think they look really nice.

I really like the Simco cluster but I was more or less looking for overlays rather than replacing the entire cluster for $200+.

Edit: I'm really starting to like these Simco gauges, especially the way they illuminate. Maybe I can convince myself.

Can someone post pics of the Classic and Silver versions installed? I'm leaning more towards the Classic model.

Which one do you guys use?

Details? Just grab an OEM one out of a 99-01 and it will bolt right up with no electronic/ODO issues?
Then again, not sure if I want SVT on my gauges.

On the basic $270 Simco model? Didn't see an option, white/green looks good.

Do they change the glow color/lighting or just daytime face color?

simco clusters are the way to go.....

I did the remove needles, replace with white face. I was never 100% happy with it.

Then I did the LED lights for $8 mod, and I wasnt happy with that.

Then I bit the bullet and bought the simco guage. simple swap and everything looks clean
