Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are gauge faces made of?

There are 2 basic types of materials used to make gauge faces: stainless steel and polycarbonate. Both are great materials, but they give different results. Stainless steel adds a brilliant luster to your instrument cluster. On the other hand, polycarbonate gauge faces come in a wide array of rich colors to match or accent your vehicle's finish. You can't go wrong with either material.

2. Am I able to change the illumination color on my instrument cluster with a gauge face kit?

Yes. With the US Speedo stainless steel Gauge Kit, you get to decide whether you want your instruments to glow smoldering red or chilled blue. Whichever color you choose, the kit will also include a new set of matching needles. Plus, if you drive an Escalade or H2, you get a third color option: icy white.

3. Will I need a drill to install my gauge face kit?

Never! Your gauge face mounts onto your instrument cluster using strips of automotive-grade adhesive. There is no drilling, cutting or modifying required.
