    I like it. I could be biased though, I like the simple utility of race gauges.

      They changed their name?

      I like the look!

            No one mentioned about the price! So is that cause you dont think its a good deal or it is and no means to discuss it?

              If it was me, I'd go black face gauges with black bezels.

              That aside, I'd say price is "OK"...not great...

                I agree with Jeff. Black faces and either black or chrome bezels, the white just screams tacky...... or would be be tachy in this case.

                  The price isn't that bad. Consider the bezel itself, the gauges, wiring harness, etc. All together and assuming it's a quality fit I'd say it's not bad at all.

                    I can get all black face gauges with a mechanic speedometer for 695

                            Last time I priced gauges it was like $800 just to replace the factory LT1 gauges so yeah I'd say that's a good price. Just seems like the gauges are kinda small to me?

                              i think they are the 2 1/6 gauges which are decent sizes i just want all them as big as the speedometer. But they have regular plastic, carbon fiber and brushed aluminum i think i am going to keep it all black inside!
