Default 79-86 gauge panel. What do you think?

Making this for my race car. instead of paying 200 bucks for a custom one from Florida 5.0 i decided to use a Dremel Tool to open the holes a little bit for the 2 1/16 gauges. What do you think. A 200 mph Speedo will go in the other 5 inch hole for that "Racing" appearence and i saw one of those gauges thats like a Gtech but it tells other things. might put that in there. The only other guage Ford Racing makes is a boost gauge and im running nitrous so that wont work.
