White face gauges for MY car?
searched ebay really good, but i cant find the white faced "glowing 6 color" gauges for my car!
all the ones they have on ebay are with the 140mph speedo but with the 6k rpm tach! they say the gauges are for a v8....what v8 redlines at 4.5k?! does anybody know where i can get these type of gauges?
btw, the car is an 87 trans am gta...
thanks,
Max

yeah, i saw the faces for sale, but i want the backlit ones on ebay 
am i seriously the only one with an 8k tach? on the tach face it says 8 cylinder on it. this is pissin me off because i really like those faces! i wonder if i could just put a 6k tach in it and get the faces....hmmmm.
anybody else with an 8k?

my recomendation. use an online checker on your VIN code and find out if it came as a v6... because if so, and a v8 was put in. that would explain it. and in that case id prolly just chuck the 6k tach overlays on. i dont really look at my tach much tho, so it really wouldnt effect me, its all about listening to the engine
