I just purchased the gauges and am still waiting to receive them. I should have them in a few days. I'll let you know how they look, day and night, once installed.

Guess what. Those aren't real replacement gauges.

It is a sticker that you put on top of your existing gauge. It's kind of tedious, but it's definitely do-able and it looks good. The numbers and needles are bright enough at night too.
You will be tempted to color the needles with a permanent marker. If you do that, it looks very good during the day, but at night it's not as visible as the picture in their website. I wouldnt recommend coloring the needles, unless you do lots of driving during the day.
You're gonna need some "application fluid" too. All it is is a water with some dish washing detergent fluid. Dont put too much palmolive. If you put too much, the film wont stick. Unless you pour in the whole palmolive bottle, the water will not feel slippery. It's not supposed to feel slippery, so dont put too much detergent.

Good luck.

I got the overlays on my max, and I think they look great. I colored the needles blue with a sharpie marker, and like hokiemax said, they aren't as bright during the night. If I was to do it all over again, I would still color the needles blue. The white gauges look great, especially for $25.

OK then, give me your opinions in my dilema.

I have a GXE. I put all red lights in my guages, which look cool as hell. I want to get some of those overlays but I cant decide on the color. I'm considering:

Red
Carbon Fiber
Silver Metal Flake

What do you think I should get?

I was thinking if I got the silver, I could do the guage bezel with carbon fiber and that would look really good with the red lights.
