okay guys i need some help making a decision here...as of right now, my tachometer no longer works, and also my speedometer does not work, sooo, i am looking into either getting a replacement dash, or an aftermarket one from either, www.florida50.com or www.mc-machine.com BUT im not sure what to go with, so if anyone has any input or another place to look, i could use your input thanks

I personally really like the look of the MC-machine gauge cluster with autometer gauges, but it's all a matter of opinion.

You could go to ebay and get a stock replacement, I payed 50 bucks for mine. I actually upgraded to the 140 speedo.If you have the extra money get the autometer one, it looks awesome. jmo

yea im personally leaning towards either the florida50 or mc machine one, cuz both are nasty looking and i think they would be more accurate and worth the extra money, but i dont really know how they would look in the car, or the difference between the two

There are pictures on each website.I like the aluminum look of the mc machine cluster and think it would look great, but once again, it's personal opinion.

The MC Machine one would look even better if you had it anodized to match your interior color.

yea, but the pictures on their websites arent too good ya know...yea how do you get something annodized? my interior is white but the dash is all black

You can get kits to do it yourself or you can look for places that do electroplating, chroming, and or powdercoating and they usually do anodizing also.


This site has a short list of company that offer the service.

yea the more i think about it, i think i would just go with mc machine....but now do i go with the silver looking plate or the black plate? and should i go with gauges already installed or install them myself? see florida 50 has that option for 600 clams, and give you all the instructions on how to do it, but i think i could get the gauges for cheaper than they sell em
