Dakota Digital is supposed to be coming out with a new analog version and supposed to be priced at 798 from their website, but maybe cheaper here? I'm putting off my gauges a little while longer to see them. Latest I heard is sept/oct time frame.

That dash is crap. I saw them at a booth at a car show, they are thinner than pillar gauge pod plastic, perhaps half as thin.

You can buy the autometer guages and put them in your stock instrument panel.  That would save you some money on that set up.

i agree with you 69byrd.   plus, thats an insane chunk of change wow

Also if you do it yourself you can mount the guages from behind like the stock guages.

I did this with my gauges. I like the look of it, and it was fairly simple to do. I just had to cut out the metal cluster cover and threaded the gauge into it. At first I cut out the clear plastic that covers the gauges, but it eventually broke the clips that screw it down so I removed it. I did my brothers gauges like the cluster listed in this post, It was a bit more difficult, but it also looks good.

Mine are mounted behind too. Your right it was not hard and it was a fun project too. Also you can sit them at an angle to where they are easier to see.
