    I like the white gauges but it is too far off of the look of the rest of my car.
    Too 'new' looking.

    I'm with you Mavaholic. I like the white faces, but I'd have to change my tach & gauges to match also...

    I'd do it but Autometer dont make the full sweep small gauges with a chrome bezel. Bummer.

    Looks good!

    I don't think I would do it to mine. I don't have the patience for something like that and I like the way the stock gauges look.

    Looks good! I've had two sets of those to do for the past year. I figure it'll be a good job to do on a snowy day.

    Ample for daily drivers, I'm sure (okay, I 'hope').


    Auto Meter is a better product, but relatively expensive. You can easily spend $500+ (tach, temp, oil pressure, fuel pressure, Nitrous, vacuum).

    Which reminds me, I need to drop my tranny pan and 'install' a temp probe for it too.
