Opinions, Discuss!!! NNBS Gauges

[F4MOU$]

Well, my work needs a video of a gauge install for our website for the customer that never know what they are doing. So I offered my truck up to get a set of gauges installed (just the overlays of the factory gauges) and I need to know if it is a good idea, as well as opinions on them if they would look good and what not....


These are the gauges I am looking at and have my number one spot in my mind I think:

Disreguard the price because that's obviously what I ain't payin for them though.

And also IIRC, they come with the new needles as well.

Or there are these options as well. But I think the ones above take the cake for me, I just want opinions and stuffs.

IIRC I can get something like these as well for the 1500:

Or the stainless with red numbers:

What do you guys think.....

[TheMaroonBaboon]

i like the red numbers

[Js155807]

Stainless w/ red numbers looks good. Damn...I want your job....:rocking:

[F4MOU$]

:damnit: Now you guys got me thinkin.... I don't really like the look of all stainless, if it were like the first ones I posted just red I would do it up. But I don't know about full stainless...

[F4MOU$]

[Big~Kenny]

Personally i like the Blue ones the best!!

[WildChevys]

i'm not crazy about them. they don't seem to mesh

[Js155807]

The ones you have in red would be sick!

I like these best. I don't know if I'm too crazy about the silver suround. I think I would like it better if it were a dark gray or black, but the gauges themselves are very nice looking.

[F4MOU$]

Well that silver surround came factory on my truck since it is not a w/t...

It would be in this interior....

With black leather...




EDIT, I just thought of something. I may scrap the whole entire idea if those lights on the gauges light up anything but the greenish color my factory gauges light up. I don't want two different lights on my dash.... Ya know?

[WildChevys]

indeed, that is a good point

[1badmason]

I like the blue the best

[1badgmc]

Hmmm...Never paid attention to that in all the trucks I've been in. I guess the blue/silver of the gauges just brings it out more.

[F4MOU$]

Yeah, I am not sure. I wish there was a way to contact the GMFS member I got that picture from but he was banned from there so I can't get an answer.... I need to figure out someone who knows him over there...

[Js155807]

Can't you get different colored led's to replace the other parts to match light?

[Js155807]

Sorry for the double post! I also just realized that you'd have to replace the stock radio...

[CustomChevyGuy]

i really like those blue guages, alot more then i was expecting when i opened the thread..

[F4MOU$]

Yeah, these are like the only really nice ones out there, hence that's why there like what, over 250 vs the under 100 bucks for the other ones....

Sorry for the double post! I also just realized that you'd have to replace the stock radio...

Way more work than what I am willing to do. :lol:

[Js155807]

I totally understand! Haha!

[Chuggs]

How bad is it that our resident Stylin' rep doesn't know the difference between the interior and the exterior? :LOL:

[frontwheelrider]

wow , i like the blue

[Z71ny27]

The first blue for sure. Those red ones look hideous

[F4MOU$]

How bad is it that our resident Stylin' rep doesn't know the difference between the interior and the exterior? :LOL:

Wait, what? Did I put it in the wrong forum or something? :lol:

[Z71ny27]

Nah, just get a pod and mount them on the hood then you can move it back over there :lol:

[F4MOU$]

This is what I recieved in an email from Nevrenz on GMFS:

Heres some pics... They light up a little more blue at night but look close to Factory. The quality is the best ive seen. this would be my 20th install ive done for USSPEEDO.

I got rid of them becuase i didnt do blue interiror like i was going to do. Otherwise i would of kept them. they are the best looking ive seen for these trucks.


THX

[Z71ny27]

Yep, looks good. Looks like he's runnin a litle warm though, don't they usually run a little under 210? Maybe got the needles on wrong

[F4MOU$]

Yeah. I think they look real good. and IIRC, that's about where I run too.... I don't remember off hand though.

[gotnitro]

IIRC ftw

[Z71ny27]

you're prob right. last nnbs i was in ran 210 right on the spot

[Chuggs]

Wait, what? Did I put it in the wrong forum or something? :lol:
In a word, yes. :LOL:

22:06, 9th Feb 2009 Chuggernaut Thread moved to 'Interior Tech'.

You had posted in the Exterior section.

[F4MOU$]

In a word, yes. :LOL:



You had posted in the Exterior section.

:lol: My bad. FSC was messed up bad last night, and I was just trying to get the thread out and musta over looked it. But then again, if I didn't do it, you wouldn't have a job here!


:D

[WildChevys]

looks pretty good at night

[F4MOU$]

Yeah, looks like they would match relatively good. I sorta wish they had them in red, like switch the blue for red. I would like to see what it would look like then....

[WildChevys]

yea that would be cool

[F4MOU$]

Yeah I know... I mean blue is my favorite color so I would live with it. But I think red would look a little cooler.

[F4MOU$]

Hope these links works, but here's a couple more:
http://www.usspeedo.com/view.php?id=28

I don't like this style of gauges, but it's red:
http://www.usspeedo.com/view.php?id=28#

Another style, but ugly:
http://www.usspeedo.com/view.php?id=37

Or these, with red numbers instead, they don't have a pic though:
http://www.usspeedo.com/view.php?id=44#


I still like the original ones I posted through because they are gonna light up the factory color... Or close too.

[WildChevys]

those are badass, i really like the silver

[F4MOU$]

But it's stainless steel. I don't really like the look of stainless....... I think...

[Chuggs]

:lol: My bad. FSC was messed up bad last night, and I was just trying to get the thread out and musta over looked it. But then again, if I didn't do it, you wouldn't have a job here!


:D

Job? What job? :LOL:

[Z71ny27]

Ya, I still like your first choice. The Daytona one in this last post is somewhat ok, but the font for the numbers sucks.

[F4MOU$]

Job? What job? :LOL:

:lol: The one your supposed to be doin back slack extremely well at it!
