Stay away from EBay Decals

Just a warning. Stay away from buying instrument gauge decals from most on EBay. I got mine in the mail. THEY SUCK!!!!! Way too glossy, the speedo decal was too big for the housing and it didnt even have precut holes for the needle, rivets, high beams, or odometer!!!!!! These are junk. I went back and looked at all the ones on EBay currently and they all look this way. Thank God I came upon a recommendation for Performance Car Graphics in one of the threads in this forum. These look 1000000% better, fit perfectly, have all pre-cut holes, have WAY better instructions, and were $10 cheaper on top of that. I just wish I would have knew about them a little sooner. Oh well, dumb purchase. Lesson learned. The Ebay decals are cheaply made, made out of the wrong material, and will totally screw your up your project.

Those look pretty dang cool.

Just to clarify, I didnt mean that every decal package on Ebay is crap, but I did do a search on all that are out there as of today for 68-70 Chargers and all the ones currently out there are like the ones I got that were bad. I'm sure there are some good, legitimate ones out there from time to time. Wasnt tryin' to bag on all of them.

Guess that sort of did sound like a PFG commercial. There was just such a night and day difference between theirs and the other, I figured they deserved a plug.

Got any pics?  One of the speedos in my pic is stock.  The other was a hella lot of work. 
The sticker being half of that work.  It had the cutouts cept for the rivet holes.  It acted
like it would lay down flat for a day.  Then the shiny top layer lifted in 1 spot & there was
no getting it to lay back down or get the glue checking to disappear.  I went ahead and
cut out the rivet holes from the front with a sharp EXacto knife and the next day the top
layer lifted in both of those places too.  Well, i hated how shinny it was & that clear just
was not going to cooperate.  So, I went for broke n peeled off the top layer.  I knew up
front that the holes were cut, but otherwise, I agree:  this ain't easy.
I also have a 2nd gen, so pics of whatever actually works with ease would be great!!!

BTW  You can see the entire saga of this speedo here:
