Question Just a question about gauges

What is the preference for gauges to replace the factory originals?
Are they a direct bolt in or are modifications required?

billet

If you decide to use a billet unit like mine, you have to cut the raised metal ears off behind the stock bezel. Other than that, it's pretty straight forward if you're comfortable running wires.

This one is by Boese Engineering in Marysville, WA and uses Dolphin gages. I really like it.

Here are the gauges I have put in my bezel. Just had to grind a little out of each gauge hole to make them fit.
