LMC truck for the billet overlay and a local speed shop for the gauges. Had to trim the overlay about a 1/4 inch on all bores for gauges to fit properly. Speedo is eletronic, no more upgrading the cable for wheel size or gearing. It's easy to program. Blue LED lights for different effect. I will take some pictures tonight and post them here.

My friend did all the gauges for me because I did not want to torch my gauges or harness. He ran all new wiring for the gauges through the factory fuse block. It looks factory! Sorry about the poor quality, they are all the same brightness, I don't know why they came out like they did. I took the pictures with the same Camera.

It was about $960 for the gauges and the installation
