custom gauges

[DaytonaGTP]

so i found this site.

www.speedhut.com

apparently the gauges they sell including the speedos and whatnot are compatible with all vehicles. the gauges are the same size in diameter as most but theyre only about an inch or so thick. as far as researching the site i kinda want to make me a custom instrument cluster since the stock gp one is kinda tacky to me. im just wondering if these gauges are worth buying. ive done gauges before i wouldnt have much trouble makin it. what do you guys think?

A friend of mine showed me a thread on LS1 forum a while ago for custom gauge faces for F-bodies and theirs are nearly identical to ours. It was basically just a printed sticker but they had some kickass designs. There were raised aluminum outlines for the gauges too. I can't remember any specific details (pricing etc.), but I'll see if I can get him to dig it up.

EDIT: I looked for 2 seconds and found it.

I don't know if that will fit in our cars. (probably not)

It's tard-expensive anyway so NEVERMIND.

they do fit our cars i've seen them once before. its a pretty cool setup and if i had a hundred bucks and a weekend i'd do it.

i think they are ugly. my brother had one on his 95 GP and it looked like ****. also, because you have to take your needles off to get at everything now your gauges are all off because the needles werent in the same spot as before.

yeah at first theyre ugly but you can actually go in and customize the gauge as far as back color, night color, number font, and you can even add a custom logo on it. i think i might do this setup soon. ill keep it updated.

The time it seriouskly takes to do all that you can just buy L.E. white faced gauges and be done

they're gauges? why not invest in some quality ones like say some autometer full sweep electrics?
