« on: February 12, 2009, 10:02:45 pm »
Found these and thought they were pretty cool. Someone may have already posted it but thought Id show you guys any way. Little pricey though...

You can get the same look or better for less if you are willing to modify your panel.

Covan has a Good Idea for those that need them, but for the Price and Quality of the piece you are getting, they are taking you to the Cleaners for junk.....  Not to insult you or anything, as I too thought they were cool back when they first came out, but in the end I found out that they are more Brittle than the dried out stock pieces.... :o

I know of Several people that have bought those and installed them and sent them back.  Once the guages are mounted and you bolt them in there is no structure to the whole setup.

If you did opt for the Autometer setup (whether Covan's or DIY pieced together), is there a good gauge wiring kit to match up all the new stuff to your stock harness?  Ideally a push in wire connect that plugs into the stock gauge cluster plug would be awesome.  Anybody know of anything like that?

I just can't get into that plain faced look. I mean i want them to be recessed like the original factory look, just with better gauges. and an RPM gauge.
