Great Job Rich!!!!

Excellent! I love the way that looks. Is that a dash cover I see on there? That looks kind of nice as well. Which model is it?

Let me know!

Thx a bunch!

Thanks, Paul:

I added a red bulb behind the gauge today. Looks 100% better than the white.

I'm not sure of the brand of dash cover. Bought it at Discount Auto Parts. Almost the exact color of our seats.

Cool

Here are some pics of mine. I didn't paint the gauge pod.



And then looking in from the outside looks pretty stock/hidden:



I am going to redo the writeup to include pics of most of the steps.

Hopefully Saturday, I will repost all the pics.

Later

hey guy's nice pics. Wish I had a way to show a pic of my "dual" guages installed. I have the boost & air/fuel ratio guage. Man do I love guages, wanted to get a full pillar (3) guages but isnt made yet. Anywho TBL mine came with a green shroud for the buld whick closely matches the dsahboard lights. Did you try that instead of the red bulb shroud?

Yoda:

No, mine came with a white bulb. Red looks awesome. Blue looks kind of nice too. Personal preference, I guess.

THNDR: Total cost around $75.00.
