That should look good. I had Autometer C2 gauges in the Mustang I just sold and they were sweet. When you turned on the lights at night the inside of the gar glowed. Looked like something from the movie "Christine"

Great looking dash. I was really interested but I contacted Covans and they said there that they tried to get everything to fit using a 5 inch tach and speedo but wouldn't work. Guess I'll stay with my stock insert.
