I like it...but I think it would only look good in "modified" trucks.

fast67chevy2002 · 05-20-2003, 12:41 PM

that is sweet! Too bad it doesn't match my truck.

Suicide-D · 05-20-2003, 12:44 PM

I've seen their website before. A friend is going with their second gen camaro bezel... I don't like the smaller guages, and I don't think the contours go with the body style of the truck... just my opinion though... I think with guages it's about 6 bills...

jay-dawg · 05-20-2003, 01:44 PM

i dont like the contours. should've kept it like the original but with an overlay on top.

That would look sweet in my 72' swb 2wd with phantom gauges! But i also like the billet ones with the 5" gauges.

cruzn72 · 05-20-2003, 02:04 PM

I like the dash panel that No Limit Engineering offers. It is aluminum. It is set up for monster tach and speedo. They even offer it with the guages and wire harness.

I'd like it for my durango but not my super. I like the stock look in a classic.
