*Coloured Gauge Face Replacements
**I have no affiliation to the seller, just sharing a very cool top quality product that I happened to find online**
After seeing the cheap sticker overlays going around on social media for our M3 gauges, I thought I'd post about these that are immeasurably better quality. 100% comparable to OEM. They are not stickers that you slap on top of your OE faces (like Eurocustoms lol). They are proper OEM material and thickness, with blotting ink on the backside so it lights up 100% stock. The font consistency, spacing, typeface is 100% OEM. I am incredibly OCD about details such as this. I was legitimately impressed and did not expect this level of quality especially at less than what crappy sticker overlays cost. http://venoxy.com/en/main/291-bmw-e9...om-gauges.html I bought a set of grey ones for my 328i and red for the M3 with a customized backlit "M3" logo for the tachometer face. Excuse my old ass dSLR's photo quality... Other colours/print styles:

Can't wait to do these on my black backlit M logo ones.
Waiting for them to ship as they did say it would take a few weeks.

Thanks for making a thread for this product. The eurocustoms thread totally got jacked by this product.

Yup, I figured it's appropriate to have a dedicated thread on this topic and give any more credence to EuroCustoms lol.

I managed to get them bang on pretty much to 0, but fine tuned them like 1-2mm further with Perfekt Toolbox. 99% of people wouldn't have noticed the being so slightly off but it bothered me lol.

I ordered a set of white ones too, just to try them out. I definitely think the grey ones are the best OE+ looking option. Had I not gotten the grey ones for my 328i, I would've likely gotten them for the M3 too.
Then again that's just me being super indecisive about these little things, lol.

They all look the same at night, you don't notice the coloured face at all when it's dark - only the crisp backlighting for the numbers like stock. I posted a pic of my red ones in a night shot in the first post.

Still waiting on one of you guys to show me what the white version looks like. I'm on the fence about this mod.

What more do you need? I've posted detailed reviews of how the product installs and fits. The color choice will not affect any of that.
