Question Thoughts?

What do you guys think of these?
They're stainless steel and come without instructions and needle pullers. They simply lay over the stock gauges with some kind of adhesive.





Which of course would be replacing these...



I'm still throwing the idea around. I don't know if I prefer the stock look of the gauges or would like a more custom feel. Let me know what you think.

Hi `Ted,
I really like them. It's one thing that the updated 6th Gen
or 7th Gen Monte's need 4 Sure.
I missed the 2000-2005 dash/gauge pkg.
The stock looks 2 plain 2 me, & I like those inserts.
How Much >? R U go'in 2 put them in your Black Knight ?
Red Tint bulbs : )
Will be interesting 2 see how member's vote.
Great thread...thanks

When I read the name of the thread 'Thoughts', i was thinking maybe a Pastrami would be nice right about now.

But seriously. I think it looks kewl man. I've been thinking about buying me something like that for a while, but i just haven't found the right look that i like

It's $50 on ebay.

Yeah, it might be a little too much and take away from the cleanliness of the car.

I'm torn!

I'd rather see you keep the black gauges.

I'm curious as well...

Still very torn. I think I'm sticking with stock though.

tough call! i'd lean towards no, but it's hard to say without seeing them installed in your car. let us know what you ultimately decide!

I'm really torn as well.

I would say unless you have some trim inside the car that is the same red as those guages, I'd lean toward the no side.
