Funny that I was thinking the same thing....coffee, where did you get these and how much of a pain was it to install them?

HJ, please split this into another topic as I'm not real sure how to do this (or if I'm even allowed). Thanks!

Hola, I see you liked my guages

Thank ebay for them, they only cost me like 25 + shipping

they were easy to put in but when I did it I took off my needles and kinda messed up their alignment and it took me a while to get them back to being accurate again. I had to leave the plastic cover off and manually put the needles back to where they were normally while the truck was running, it was kind of a biznatch to do and I coudln't trust them for a while untill I knew I got them back to where they were supposed to be. While the needles were off I also scratched all of the orange paint off of the back of them so now I have clear needles.

here is a couple better pics:

another thing, put double sided sticky tape inbetween the original gauges and the overlay.......lots of it. b/c if you don't your needles will brush against the overlay and stop or not be accurate.

I was gonna get them like three times already. But everytime I seem to be on Ebay they have the wrong ones (no cutout for PRINDLE) LOL

Such is my life. At least I know that they look cool.... and work.

Looks like they cut off the top part of the prindle and the odie

.....By the way.....prindle= P R N D 3 2 1. It came from back in the day when they used to read P R N D L2 L1 ..... Just so yall dont think that i am that crazy.

When I changed the bulb color in my dash to red, I painted the faces of my needles red. I wished I would have known that I could have popped the needles off, scrape off the orange & paint THAT part instead. It would have looked a whole lot cleaner.

Dollar short & a day late....story of my life!

Ya, you can see the cutouts all the time but it doesn't bother me at all. they aren't really obvious

they were definately had a quality feel to them, they even came with a module to change the brightness and a switch that will change them from blue to green
