Default after market gauge clusters

hey guys,
i have been having problems with my current stock cluster and wanted to get a more accurate and better looking cluster.

i was wanting to know if anyone knew of anyplace that makes clusters for a 93 GT.

i was thinking about just adding pods, but i dont really like the look of a crowed cab with space being wasted on the stock cluster.

any personal experience or help would be GREAT
thanks,
Eric

Yea, Florida50 has some REALLY nice stuff, but like you said, very expsive. I think their 87-93 is like $600 bucks for a 5 gauge setup or something.

The florida50 stuff IS expensive, but I feel its a pretty good value. By the time you bought the gauges and messed with it you'd have that amount of money in it.

Personally, though I really like their stuff, I'd like to do something similar with the stock pod. Hush-hush stealth approach.

the guages are worth $600????

just get a piece of aluminum and screw it onto the back of your stock cluster bezel and then buy whatever guages you want and install it

Considering that you skipped the molding of a custom cluster, that you are also buying for your $600, yup... Seems worth it.

What you said is more or less what I plan on doing though.
