Thanks

Looking at the book in the foreground the gauges are made by Faria Corp. Faria is a very reputable instrument manufacturer that has been around a long time. They are very popular in the marine world, including the choice of MANY manufacturers.

Not gone on the gauge style. It looks like a boat. Any other options? But I guess you like the look

the price might look good, personally I'd save forever and use on of the JME gauges, or fabricate it myself. I know you can get empty shells Just put autogauge gauges into them. I much prefer then ones that andrew posted. However that's down to taste ...

They look like boat gauges. I use pro-comp gauges, they light up orange at night.

They're about the same price for what you're willing to pay for the ones on ebay.

Good eye, Faria makes an average boat gauge, at least that is where I've seen them. How do you make your boat 10mph faster, install a Faria speedo.

Save up and buy a set of Autometer gauges. Many of the high end after market gauges are rebranded Autometers. They can take the snot getting beat of them in a boat, can getting wet all the time so I'm sure they'll stand up to anything a Mustang can dish out.
