Re: My new gauges cluster.

I was just telling my Son that I wish we would have went to aftermarket guages. It looks great.

I like it. With all the black it's going to look great at night.

Re: My new gauges cluster.

Very cool! The vinyl add some texture while softening the instrument panel...I bet it also helps to cut down on some of the glare from the factory plastic lens.

Re: My new gauges cluster.

the turn indicator is the little red light. I might change it a little if that light isn't bright enough.

Re: My new gauges cluster.

Very nice. I have my new set of autometer guages I just have not got around to making the dash panel to fit them into my GMC. Have to get on that.
