go with 2 - 2 and 1/16 gauges, make a templete of your hvac out of abs plastic. then take the gauges and make an outline then dremel out your gauge holes. be prepared to make many mistakes the first few tries.

well im pretty good with the dremel and plastic. i do custom crap all day at work. i think im gonna do one of those raptor style shift light things all the way on the left and them 1 or 2 more gauges. havn't decided what gauges i want/need though.

im actually gonna use the factory plastic cause i need the gauges to sink in a little cause of my head unit.
