      Anybody have S-W competition gauges ??

      I am thinking of electronic Stewart Warner competition series gauges. Plan of 5" speedo and tach + all the needed small gauges.

      I would like to see how these look at night ? I really dont like the old style autometer lightning ( perimeter??) and need to to know are these same kind ? Or is sport comp II only way to go.

      What about color ? White , black or silver ??

      This video shows our complete dash fabrication story showing these gauges, along with them illuminated with the Chameleon color system. I liked them alot.

      No problem. The needles are not lit, but they are bright orange. They are easy to read at night.

      Glad it helped!

      That is a nice option I didn't know was available.
      Are the markings on the silver face gauges translucent? They appear to be in the video. It has been a while since I looked at my white face gauges and I don't think they are?

      Cool video thanks for posting.

      Now only one what i am thinking is the un lit needles. Sport Comp II have them lit and i really like that option.

      I had the black faced ones and I really liked them. I have recently switched to the SportComp II and I like them even more. They are more money, but worth it.
