I heard those are junk and very expensive, I did my entire custom gauge swap a little more than what the bezel cost by itself

They look good. But most of us would rather save the money and build our own. But it is good looking though. There is a lot of other ways I would rather spend $1,000.

I sure do The gauges I used were were Equus 8000 series 3 3/8 tach and speedo, and the rest are 2", what I used was the factory white cluster and stock modified gauge bezel, had to to cut the domes off the back bezel for the gauges to mount flush, then used a piece a sheet metal to hold the gauges in and for looks to, for the wiring my truck has a universal wiring harness and it made it simple. but using the factory wiring isn't to hard

I did some reading only things i don't like about that gauge panel is you have to drill holes if you want turn signal or high beam lights, Cut a hole for your radio,And your gear indicator is gone.I might just go with the gauges mounted in the overlays most places sell its more work but seems cheaper.I did find this http://www.docskustom.com/220673.html tho
