I bought this on ebay for $5 & figured it might make a good start for something custom someday...corn

mine came with my truck and it's not very impressive, but i'm stuck with it. the only thing i can think about doing with mine is putting a 5 inch speedo, a 3 3/8 tach, and a 5 inch quad (fuel, oil, water, volts in 1 gauge). then i can keep the stock layout, and have all my gauges, but a quad is like $150 on ebay and we all know tachs and speedos are the most expensive (below quads)

If you're going for the lean look (which I personally like) then less is definetly more. It looks good .Bling Bling does not rule the world despite popular opinion. Just my 02.

I think a no-guager would look cool with just the tach.That would be a "double-taker" for sure.

I like the look of the stock dash but sinse I installed gauges where the old radio was (dash was already cut) & it bugs the crap out of me having both aftermarket gauges & stock gauges. Heck, I change things so often that having extra stuff sitting around cant hurt a thing.
