alright I want to get rid of my flame guage for a stainless steel one. I wanted a the us speedo gauge, but I also like the look of the nu image blue "ss" style lettering of their steel guages. I would imagine us speedo is better quality... any takers?

they are a little pricy, but I found a site that sells red nu image guages for $130 and and they didn't know if they sold blue, but he'd give me a usspeedo one for the same price

us speedo:

I definitely like the US speedo overlay better. With the Nu-image one, you see all of the warning light lettering even when they're not lit up because it's cut out of the overlay. The UsSpeedo one, the overlay is perforated over the warning lights so they shine through but you dont see them 'til they're lit up. Get it?

that looks preaty nice. BUT can you always see the dumbie lights on like that? and did you remove the factory overlay and put this one inplace or overlay it? J/W i see that the indicator lights are colored. mine are clear and i had to switch to some colored leds to get rid of the white and now the leds are PREATY BRIGHT! :(

You cant see the dumbie lights as bad as that pic shows, There was some foam square thingys on the back of the stock face that I had to take off and put on the new face.The lights dont come threw as bad since i put the foam on..

Yes, I took the old face off..

Here's a pic after I put the foam on,
