Default Velocity switch covers

My VR 1 had the typical white rocker switches that were faded and the labels were unreadable. Looked horrible.

I did some searching and found these.

Service was great and I also purchased the $4.00 tool to pop the old ones off. They are only available in black but in my case they worked great as I have black at the windshield base and black trim on my gauges.

My switch cover lettering has also worn off. They are not faded and bright white. Wondering how durable the lettering will be on new covers? Post some pics when you get them on.

These appear to be better then the originals if you can live with black. On my boat they look better. I am at the Battleship Run, do not have ability to post pic. PM your email and I will send pics to you to post.

Would you mind posting the old as well? I would love to eliminate the mystery switches I have now. Has anyone used their custom switch or gauge panels? Pricing doesn't look too bad.

Thx
Rick
