I know some people would hate it but I friggin LOVE IT!!!
Haha thanks man!!

It definitely came out really good! Took a lot of adjusting and dremeling. But it was worth it. People literally go crazy over it ,left it on while I was in Taco Bell and there were people just standing around my car when I came out. lol

I really need to get a good nighttime video or something.

They plug right into the port under the steering wheel. That's all you have to do. If you order the dual gauges like I did then it splits into two wires for each.

-There is also different wiring harnesses you can get for them (that the computer doesn't display already) for like
-fuel pressure
-oil pressure
-wideband 02 etc.

You can also check codes and delete codes through them.
And you can command your cooling fans low and high so no need for a fan switch.

Needless to say these are worth every penny spent.

It was only 400 bucks for the dual gauges...

You also customize them to whatever face color, trim ring color, and lcd light up screen color that you want.

I want to try and get a video driving around to show how accurate the rpm, mph, and stuff is.

You have to remove the coat hanger clip first (use a flat head to pull the plug release, then pull the hanger off) and then it is just velcroed on (as long as you have kick panel and rear panel off)...

Like this.. But make sure you take the t-top Little plastic holder cap off too! It's where the bolt from the t-top actually goes in. Held on by two Philips screws. This piece you want off is held in there too.
