I want what you have only black. I think it would be sweet to have a matching glove box door too.

I bought mine from them at the Goodguys Nashville show, I was after the Carbon Fiber looking one but they didn't bring any with them for the show. After I got it put together and installed I really like the "brushed " aluminum look, seems to go better with the colors on my truck.

I remember seeing them at the show and I talked to them also. Did you buy the plug in kit or the one you have to wire up? You going to the show this year?
Thanks, Kade

made my own wiring harness ( had most of the stuff I needed anyway ), and bought the gages from Summit. You can check out the new issue (March/April ) of Truck Builder for the complete installation.
Josh ( jkaylor68gmc ) did a killer job on the story and photos!!

Hella lot cheaper to do it that way. I priced all the guages and the panel from summit for about $475 and covan's wants over $600.

Re: Covan's glove box door cover???

Summit was cheaper than anyone I could find, and with there new store in Atlanta it's only a 1 day ship for me, so I had my parts the next day. It took me about 2 hrs to build the harness, and a just little longer to do the installation ( since I had to tie into the factory harness. I think someone makes a harness that plugs into the factory harness ( not for sure ).
It was one of the best upgrades I have made so far. I had the factory gages and converted them to "white faces ", but the new one's are so much more accurate. It's a relief to know exactly what's going on with the Autometer gages.

Covans makes that setup that plugs right into out trucks but I am doing away with the factory wiring. Summit is a great place to buy parts for sure.
