Default Autometer 5" Gauges - Finished (pics)

I would like to thank Camaroboy69 for making the plate and it fits great. Overall, I love it. The gauges are Ultra-lite II's. Here are the pics

'00_Z: I didn't want to dig around in the cluster wiring to find the turn signal, brights, etc wiring, but I can still hear the turn signals.. haha.

FrankSS: I used this thread as reference, and it helped out a lot
