You'll have to let us know how those SpeedHut gauges treat you, Flick.

New cluster looks great, but the old one looks real cool for a stock unit. What car is that from?

Really... i'm sure this has been done before, but not often enough. Glad a company is finally taking the car out of the speed equation.

This alone is worth the cost of the gauges.

Also, looks good in your implementation, nice work!

This is one of the many reasons why I recently became a Speedhut dealer.

Overall i am pretty happy with the way it turned out. Might not be up to some peoples standards but i take pride that i made it. And i think it turned out good. Still debating if i want to paint the backing piece or leave it as is.
Probably a dumb question, but what adhesive did you use to attach the textured backing plate to the oem surround?

That is still on my list to do. The sheet i used fits almost PERFECT in the factory location not an issue without using and adhesive, but i plan on picking some up still researching what would be the best method, Maybe Broadfield can give his .02?

Hadn't heard of speedhut gauges. Just checked out a video.

THREADED GAUGES! What I'd do for my gauges to have a securing ring on the rear side. Awesome design!

That's ok man, I haven't even placed my opening order yet... still waiting on getting some people together to order a few gauges.

I take it you missed it when I posted my new cluster setup in this very thread!?!

You can find it on my blog:

I couldn't have said it better myself... it's an amazing company. Did you happen to check out their warranty? They will even customize gauges beyond what they show on the site. I have a customer that wants a double gauge that they do not offer, but they will custom build it anyway.
