Covan gauge panels?

Any one ever run one? http://www.classicdash.com/shopping/...er-Gauges.html

Are the gauges angled down like when you retrofit then into the factory? Are they nice quality?

For $950 they better tell me how fast I'm going when I think about it, make the truck get better gas mileage, make my love life better and lose weight over night.

I know they are super high dollar but I like the look and have heard that retrofitted originals point down.

Re: Covan gauge panels?

I did the math and with all items coming from high end sellers, LMC and auto meter, you can get the same if not better gauges, and a brushed aluminum bezel and still came in $5 under there price. And that came with stock turn signal locations and just a cheap small light wired into the stock harness for the high beam indicator light.
