I think you'd better slow down, or you're going to run into your garage...


Seriously though, very nice looking. Looks very professional, and very cool. What did you use as the backing plate?

Must be nice to have a FULL complement of gauges...
Was this for necessity, like a Gen4 engine/PCM swap or just to have something more and different?

The guages were kind of out of necessity. Could get BS3 to work with the stock guages. Yes the guqges did cost alot. Shopped alot on eBay for deal. Saved me atleast 1/3 the cost.

Thumbs up
Looks great! I would recommend some black foam weatherstriping on top of the steering column to hide the wires behind, but other than that, looks clean. Good job.
