Do I need new gauges
« on: January 26, 2011, 02:31:34 am »
I was wondering if my stock gauges would work after my LQ9 swap? I really like the look of them and already have a white face gauges kit! If I have to go aftermarket, what size gauges do I need to do this mod? Thanks in advance!

That uses 3-3/4 and 2-5/8 gauges.
I suggest doing it like this: http://73-87.com/7387garage/interior/gauges_recessed.htm

Thanks! I was hoping I could have kept the stock gauges though. Any update on the pillar pods?
