Not bad at all. Can see the gauges during the day....not to mention they were easy to install with great directions; illustrations.

I heard they are very easy to install...I saw them in person a couple days ago and the guy told me they are just overlays, take the two bolts off from the top of the bezel, remove the glass etc.

Yeah, check out the two EvoM links on the ebay pages... If I hadn't just spent my mods budget on meth injection I'd be ordering one of those two sets available.

May be a dumb question.. but with the addition to 180mph, do any of you guys know if the calibration will be correct with the corresponding MPH reading on this lay over?

For some reason, I think that those overlays are ugly! They have much better illumination though.

I have the trustz gauges, and i love them. They were super easy to install, and the just go over the originals. I have the defi blue racer gauges with the gruppe-s triple gauge panel and it really goes well with those gauges.

ebay has some gauges for sale that illuminate white and blue backgrounds also...they aren't jsut overlays though. you would have to take off the old ones and put in the new ones etc.
