they are all going to look like this speedo gauge i am going to use the original face that goes over the cluster the plate that holds everything in is just going to be different what do you guys thing? too many gauges or no? the ones that arnt going in the cluster are going to be on the outside of the car in the cowl vent they just started making with the pods built into them

+1, I wish they would have had that when I was doing mine. As far as the a/f gauge goes, It's not like a wide band but it will let you know when there is a fuel issue.

Default RE: gauges

its not hard to make that plate that holds the gauges and i dont like theirs cause its offset and looks like a half *** job so i figure ill make it myself and just put all the gauges in myself i like doing stuff like that myself instead of buying it pre built it even said in the artical they are having problems with it so i dont want to deal withthat
