Hi, Yes, we offer our gauge faces in kmh and can put the GT logo. We are working on adding that logo option to our site.

I just bought a setup from Black cat with some LED's and a sweet looking face. I forget the guys name who helped me but he was very easy to work with and able to help me out exactly how I wanted. I pretty much ordered up the gauge's to look like the Cobalt Auto meter gauges and He was very good with helping me configure them. I should be putting in there setup in the next few weeks.

You guys have some nice stuff.

This is my favorite by far. That lighting on a 160mph overlay would be nice.

isn't that kinda stock for the SS/SC cars? looks close

isn't that kinda stock for the SS/SC cars? looks close

Almost. The stock lights are no where near that bright. The white is very white and the red is vibrant at least in that pic.
I would like a stockish look but brighter.

These guys do awesome work! Unfortuenatly being a small company they also take a while to get done, if you can wait its deffenently a worthwhile mod.

ohh yea they throw in some LED's, but i think it might jack up the price. It did on mine. But I want all out.

I ordered mine with the optional LED's and all it after they sent me the rough draft to make sure it was how I wanted, it took just under 2 weeks. That wasn't to bad.

Hi, We have specific guidelines for the Cobalt and I will post them shortly. Thanks.

Thats not bad at all! Had it been that fast with the ones I ordered I wouldn't have said anything. Maybe he was just extra busy when I tried to get mine.

Maybe. He was very good as far as being in contact with me aswell. I have only good things to say about them.

(Now I have to try and figure out how to install the whole thing lol)

Hi, We have specific guidelines for the Cobalt and I will post them shortly. Thanks.

Here is the link to view the install guidelines specifically for the Cobalt/G5

http://www.blackcatcustom.com/Cobalt%20Install%20Guidelines.htm

have you guys thought about offering guage kits specifically for the ss/sc. i know you have ones that go up to 160 mph. but have you thought about offering akit where you throw the boost guage face in as well.

i have heard in the past that it is very hard to get the boost gauge apart w/o screwing it up, thats why nobody makes them.

Do you guys have or can you make one for the boost gauge?

This really has a nice look. Gotta think of something els instead of COBALT.

Thats an excellent how-to for DIY installation. I was wondering like what exactly the LED kit includes. Possibly pictures and a how-to would be nice, I'm considering picking that up along with ordering a custom blue cluster.

yay! welcome!!!! I've been looking at your gauges for a looooooonnnnggggg time.

Reason why the needles don't light up?

good question!

Weird, yet the red/white SS/SC looking cluster has the needles lit up.

yea, i dunno

loving the blue led kit. could they make one in red though.

Reason why the needles don't light up?

The needles do light up in real life, the blue is very bright and it seems our camera just can't handle the contrast! It's time for a new camera!

Do you guys have or can you make one for the boost gauge?

We are looking into it but can't say how long it will be though. When we come up with something, I'll be sure to post it here first.

Is there any way to change the needles to like a white, like the is the color from the lights behind the cluster, or are the needles painted or tinted that red color.

I love the look of these...

The black on white, with the white needles and the white writing.

So if I were to buy this kit, the needles will glow blue instead of orange? If so, I'm sold! :guns:

make that duex!

Hi, we do have the red LED kit, it's not on the website now but we will be adding it soon. We need to take pictures!

The black on white, with the white needles and the white writing.

The stock needles are painted flourescent red, so they will light up varying degrees of red no matter what color led you shoot at them. Even with blue led's they still light up a pale red color. If you want them to light up a different color, the red needs to be removed and repainted (just the back side) with white or a flourescent color close to the color you want, such as flourescent blue for blue glowing needles. Repainting the needles is easy, but repainting them well is not that easy. Paint needs to be perfectly even or you will see dark and light spots in the needle.

So if I were to buy this kit, the needles will glow blue instead of orange? If so, I'm sold! :guns:

If you have the blue led kit, the needles will glow a pale red unless you repaint them as explained above.

can we have 2 logos?

like G5 on the left and GT on the right? if so is there an extra fee and would both light up?

can we have 2 logos?

like G5 on the left and GT on the right? if so is there an extra fee and would both light up?

Yes, we can do 2 logos, and as long as they are in the upper half of the gauge, they will light up. To put the 2nd logo, $10 extra.

whats that i smell........




ah, Group buy :D :cssNET:

I'm not taking anything away from you guys at blackcat customs, but do you guys offer needle kits like this?

http://www.bee.net/a2low240/gauges/Intellic1.jpg

My question is, could i take the needle kit for a 97+ malibu and make it work?

Hey, we don't offer needle kits like that one, but if you use one of our LED kits, you can get your needles to light up like this picture. I know I mentioned that changing the colors of the needles can be tricky but after doing the cobalt needles, I'd have to say they are the easiest I've ever done. I need some time, but I can put together a DIY on this.

As for the malibu - I doubt they will fit but you need to check with II.

these gauges are AMAZING!! buy them up!

that looks great. How much is the blue LED kit?

ah nvm, i found the price :lol:

this will be my next mod. expect a call within a few weeks reguarding my custom gauges :lol:

Has anyone had problems with climate effecting they're new clusters. I ordered mine last summer and installed it, drove it, and parked it for the winter. Until yesterday it was clear roads but bitter cold outside and I noticed multiple hairline cracks starting from holes for needles. Even after it warmed up I still have all of these cracks that the blue lighting shines through.

try PMing them, im sure this issue can be resolved

That's hotter than a mother fucker! My Stereo Head Unit is bright blue too!


BLACK CAT: Do you have a matching BOOST GUAGE effect to these blue guages in the picture?

How much for the whole setup?

We are still working on the boost gauge and will let you know when we have it ready.
This set up uses our LED Kit, so our basic Gauge Face is $85.00 + Blue LED Kit $35, shipping $7 = $127.

2 PM's sent. We will definitely take care of this for you.

What brand of boost gauge do you have. Most aftermarket boost gauges are sealed from the factory. Taking them apart can be difficult to do without damaging it.

i'm not sure equis i think some cheap one for now
