Those white faced stick on gauges are junk. Ended up getting pissed and ripping the factory gauge face in half. 25 bucks down the drain.

I'm not looking for anymore white faced gauges right now. I am in the process of building a 350 and an LS1 350 and I'm not spending anymore money on somebodys overpriced gauges on Ebay.

Mine went on nice, look pretty damn good too. Did you use soapy water?

Yep used soapy water but tried to do it while my factory gauge face was still out of the cluster cause my flames were still in the cluster. Figued I'd swap em afterwards. Well the water soaked the paper backing on the back of the gaugeface and ruined it to where it wouldnt peel off, therefore the face was not going to stick to the cluster. Ripped it all in half and walked away. Next time I'll just spend the money and get the real ****

Which white face would you go with... The North face or US Speedo?
Reason I ask is because I accidentally bought 2 so 1 will be for sale on here..
