HVAC overlays - CEG Archives

Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives

OK, just installed the blue/green procarparts.com overlays - looks hot. Now, the procarparts.com don't carry HVAC, so I ordered it from importintelligence.com and all I got was -

A DAYM STICKER!

like just the vinyl sticker that is supposed to be placed on HVAC. Now, not only it looks like crap, but think about stock green light mixing with the blue color of the sticker (the one I ordered) - yuk.

Now, the question: do you know any vendors who carry real Elglow HVAC for tours? TNX.

The GB - 43 pages and something weird is going on there, so I prefer just to get mine in a normal way...

I agree with that.

ElGlow HVACs? Chattavegas? Kremit, SVT Pete? Anybody?

I know bnoon doesn't sell his anymore, but u might wanna pm cardoc over at FCO, i think he took over the indiglo stuff. I dunno if he has any HVAC panels left, but its worth a shot.

If all else fails, i think u might be able to scrub the green material off of the back of the HVAC panel, and possibly use ble LEDs back there.

I have the sticker style in my 98 and it looks good!
I have the set you want in 96 and it looks good!
bought it from Ebay......

Timmmmmmmmmyyy!!!!

Does anyone know the best way to install these? In means of what is the best way to remove the knobs and what is the best way to clean the surface and keep the sticker on. Thank you

Knobs - A nice little tug = removal of knobs.
Two screws and some little poppys hold that big black trim cover on.

Use Rubbing alchohol, it works everytime!!

if its not a sticker, what were u expecting?

the original piece is just a sticker so how exactly would you make it n indiglo HVAC? how is the new one being mixed with green?

just wait until the makers of the g.b. hvacs are finished. they'll be sittin' around saying "what the heck are we gonna do w/ these templates?" and soon enough they'll start selling on ebay, procarparts and the like.

Wait a minute. The original OEM piece is a piece of plastic with some lighting inside and/or some green markings. So, if we put the sticker on - then the sticker's own color, blue or what have you, would mix with the original lighting, right?

Now, from the pic I saw on the GB I understood that their HVAC was kinda of the same contraption used in overlays, with some green/blue switch, etc. You lost me...

??? the HVAC is just some plastic or whatever the hell material stuck on a piece of clear glass or whatever it is.

Are u saying the sticker goes on top of the original HVAC or did you remove that and stick it on the clear glass? If you removed it, how did it mix with green & blue?

Are you saying that the black/markings/knobs black plasticky HVAC panel rest on CLEAR GLASS?

Ooops, ma bad then!

I been trying to put it atop.

...but, listen up, if what are you saying that the aftermarket HVAC is always a sticker - how come the GB ones are white during the day and blue (or whatever) when the lights are on? Then it means the LEDs must be installed as well - behind the "clear glass" panel - and no one ever mentioned LEDs in the GP????

I'm pretty sure those in the GB are indiglo just like gauge overlays would be. Which would have to be glued/taped down unless they come with a self adhesive, but they wouldn't need LEDs, but they would need to be wired into headlight switch or other 12v source.

Exactly - I need this kind of HVACs...

hahaha...ok so there is two different ones.

I was assuming that the HVAC was a sticker-like thing because the stock one is. And yes, if u lift up ur stock HVAC, its clear underneath and the bulbs are white

the color is on the thing itself...

but whats wrong with the sticker? Does it just suck or what?

It does suck, the color has nothing to do with the one displayed in their on-line catalogue, and as I said I wanted ones that would be changing colors based on lights on lights off...

Got mine off ebay!

I got the one from import intelligence...what were you expecting for like 10 bucks?

yes ebay is the place to go!!and if you look under
mercury mystique you,ll find chrome or aluminum face
covers for the speedo too

Well, first it was like 20, not 10, they got the cheapest ones starting from $15, and I did expect something AT LEAST of the same quality as the www.procarparts.com overlays that are priced $23....

cardoc can get more but only in sets of 25 i believe. he'd need that many interested parties.

He just answered me that nothing is left, then I axed about the future plans, but didn't get an answer...
