Default 70 camaro LQ4/T56 swap... Gauges

Coming to a end and finishing up my swap. Just wondering which way some of you guys are going on your gouges. Not worried about keeping the stock look. The few options that I have explored have been over $1000. Just think that seems a little foolish for some gauges..... Any input would be appreciated. Trying to keep everything electronic at this point. Will try to post pics this afternoon when I get home from work.

Speedhut has sales from time to time with discounts that stack with the normal volume discount, just something else to consider if you want to avoid a middle man. The dakota vhx (not their old stuff) looks pretty cool as well.

"Cheap" and electronic gauges do not go together!

I went Auto-Meter...Keep in mind an electronic speedo will cost the most money, theres a few hundreds dollars already! Prepare to spend $800

Really like the way yours look. I am ok with spending around 7-$800. Did you piece yours together or did you buy a kit???

Thanks for all the replies. Just don't know who to go with at this point. Never figured I would get hung up on gauges of all the things...

I pieced it together through Summit Racing. I could have bought the kit, but I wanted the 160 speedo
