Custom Gauge Cluster Option?

Many of us have many aftermarket gauges in our rides.

I have purchased Autometer Cobalt Speedo, Tach, Fuel, and Volt
gauges
to eventually replace my stock gauge cluster altogether,
and to go with the rest of my gauges.

I've had them for months, but I haven't worked on my car in a long time.

Today I saw THIS THREAD, and think this would be an EXCELLENT
way to upgrade the FB's stock cluster for those of you who have wanted
to modernize it.

It brings a Tach, Speedo, Temp Gauge, Fuel Gauge, Low Fuel warning,
Odometer, "High" Beam and Turn signals, and even a shift light! -
all in one nice tidy looking package.

If I hadn't invested money in the gauges I already have - this would definitely
have been a real option.

What do you think?

You can get them for about $320ish if you look around.

Considering it's several gauges, it's a good price.
Not to mention ease of installation.

My Tach Alone was over $200 when I bought it.

That thing is pretty nice! $320ish isn't bad at all... I just spent 80 on a single boost gauge.

I don't think it really looks right in a factory car, but if I were building a custom tube-chassis rotary car then that's what I would want on it.

hah that is pretty sweet. I love how it looks but as said i dont think it would look that great in a factory car.. ude have to put it in the middle of the guage cluster and fiberglass around it or something to make it look normal. On a side note if my motorcycles tach ever goes out im totally buyin one of these haha.

Looks great!!! I would love one. Put it in place of the original tach and make a backing plate for it like the guy with the FC did. Would be very nice!! I do love my factory cluster though. Would just have to make it a factory looking install..

Cheap imo. I though it would be over $500..
