Thanks Cash. I wanted them to be subtle. I got them from boardmember TKORENEK. They are powder coated and then machined.

I have to agree with the OP. Although I can see the gauges, I'd like to be able to see them a little more. I'm a bit OCD myself and there is a quite a few things that bug me.

Maybe some customizers have the same problem I am having right now. My truck is all custom on the interior so far, but my dash and gauges are stock. Although I love the original design of the dash and cluster, I'd like the dash and cluster to be custom too, but at the same time I'd really hate to cut it up and change it. So at this point in time, I have yet to cut my dash and alter my cluster.

I like the Dakota Digital gauges, I feel like they offer a good blend of modern technology and yet maintain some of the stock fitment. To me the stock bezel arrangement just looks right in these trucks, maybe its what I'm used to seeing.

I am biased though since I have a set of VHX gauges setting in storage, maybe someday I will get far enough along to install them.

I'm running the whole setup from Speed Hut USA.

The speedo is GPS. These are the old school mechanical gauges for the motor with a LS swap. They have the gauges now that wire into the computer itself now.
