Saw this on ebay and thought it might dress up the dash a little. Anyone have one, or something similar?

I wonder if theres a glass face over all that? Or if the needles are exposed after putting it on. I dont see a hole for the trip odometer reset button.

I believe you would have to use your existing cover unless the cover was removed for picture purposes.

JP Customs also carries them - they are more expensive, but probably much better quality than those on eBay.

I thought that might be the case. Its been a while since I installed my white face gauges and cant remember if the "glass" was seperate from the black trim around the gauges. That seller has quite a few of those for sale, I may have to pick up one. The price isnt too bad.

If you look closely at the pics it seems to me that each opening save for the the very top oblong ones each have a piece of "glass" covering the opening. So the dash would have a true 3d effect to it. Also if you look you can see a small opening for the reset button. The only thing is with it being 3d the dust will be harder to clean but I'm still thinking about ordering one up.

I saw one last night for the OBS trucks and am thinking the same thing... Looks pretty cool but I would like to hear from someone who has one first... I dont trust a lot of the aftermarket stuff... A lot of it is soo cheesy and poorly built...

I asked the ebay seller about the clear lens and he said it does have one. I bought one tonight. I'll let you know about the quality once it arrives.

my girlfriend bought me one for christmas. it was damaged also. a crack at the top of the speedometer at the base. the seller was very helpful in returning though. paid freight to pick it up at my house. probably another couple weeks getting it back though.

for those that are still wondering... each bezel has its own glass, and there is a hole for the odometer reset stick.

I received my replacement Monday. Still havent installed it yet. Debating weather to or not. I'm thinking about removing all my stuff and selling the Suburban. I might be ordering a 2007 2500 Suburban in the next couple months.

I'll never understand why they make a product like this and can't even show an installed pic.

I have it on mine only thin gon ebay one is that ther is no logo on company name, or LED not installed. or it's installed.
mine with 7 color LED and each gauge pod has the cover on there.
so rest is exposed.

I don't see difference in quality, I would paid mine at stylin for 178 instead I paid 35 on mine. and later I saw the pic again when it was coevered on truckin, it was from same company. all are made in china and from same manufacture looks like.

I installed mine. It fits nice but the trim around each gauge seems to small. It sort of cuts off the first 1/2 inch of each gauge. I'll post pics later.

Yea it does cut off the left side. That sucks cuz other than that it looks good. That would just drive me crazy though.

I hope this isnt taken the wrong way, but seeing it installed, I'm not putting mine in. Plus I may be selling the Suburban in a few months anyway. Anyone want to trade something for it?
