i got my gauges at a performance shop were i have a very small discount, i got the nitrous pressure gauge for 200$, d pic for 180, and the trans temp for like 150 and the pod i bought for 50. so somewere around 600$. my buddy installed pretty much everything were i dont have a garage and work 12 hours EVERYDAY, lol.he charged me 450 to install everything. the d-pic gauge is kind of like a g-tech. tells you 1/4 mile time, speed..... 60 ft, 0-60.....60-0...g-force, and a few other things, i havent messed with it yet so i dont know how accurate it is...

Looks way better without the ground effects and balckouts , much cleaner! , berger panel looks good IMO.Nice gauges as well. Ive never really been a fan of white face gauges though.

Everything looks good, but now your pillar gauges clash with you cluster gauges, one set is white, the other dark. But again, the rest looks great.
