Hello i just got a 2006 monte carlo LT and i can't find any custom guages for it. i found one site and they want 250$ for a set of guages http://www.usspeedo.com/its the only site i found. Does anybody know of any sites?

 

Do you mean Gauge overlays that cover the stock gauges for a different look, alternate site add-ons for more info, or like stock replacements?

 

two things.

1. Mine are from www.Speedhut.com Love them still look great.
But defently do the upgrade on the transformer for them it is well worth it.

2.
You can also make them if you cant find them. It will take soem digging but i do knwo there are things on the internet abut doing it. I know some looked really nice when done other didnt.

But the just of it is this you take a REAL good photo of yours.
then you scan it in to the puter. and remov all of the background stuff.
then over lay the photo/image that you want it to have. Then you print them out and cut them out real carefully and then you can install them over yours.

Now like i said they can look good or bad depending on the time you take etc...

But if you use a photo paper when you print it it will be glossy or smi glossy. and also is a heavyier then plain paper

 

I love the look of the Auto Meter Cobalt and Auto Meter Carbon Fibre guages.
But I gotta admit, mickey's idea is cool. You could put a picture of just about anything you want in your guages. Even a pic of your g/f or wife if ya wanted to score points with her. "See honey!? I put a picture of you in my speedo to remind me of you while I'm working on my car."

Welcome to the board Robert! As we always say:

custom guages where you remove the whole stock ones and replace them with different color ones like blue and maybe different needles.

 

whats a transformer?

well, those would be much harder to find I guess. most people like me, who have a non SS version go to the SS version for the entire cluster. I know the 01-05 are compadable like that. Im not sure about the newer ones though....

 

A Transformer is a fictional robot from the planet Cybertron in an 80's cartoon that was designed to have kids beg their parents to spend gobs of money on over priced toys. The cartoon itself was more of a 20 minute commercial with other short 1 minute commercials show kids having fun with the toys. It is a highly successful franchise that depicted the peaceful heros (Autobots) and their warlike military enemy (Decepticons). Itis still playing today and has spun off two movies including a live action that played a few months ago and did well at the box office.



Another and much less known definition is an electrical component that is a coil of wire and changes (transforms) either the current or the voltage of an electrical signal.

 

In this case, most likely changing the color and/or brightness of the gauge overlays.

I highly doubt anyone makes complete gauge replacements with needles and such.... just to much to worry about there considering connections, brackets, spacing, etc.

 

the Transformer

Is a small box that controlls the color and also the briteness etc... for the overlays that is your brightness controlls.

Not a toy LOL
But have to Admit i LOVE bumbel bee in the new one.
