Hello... I know someone just posted a while back about the Autometer Gauge Bezel thingy.. I just got mine today and wanted to let them know that it's pretty nice.. the two holes in the top where it gets screwed in aren't indented?? (wrong word), so the screws aren't flush with it, but they stick out a bit.. But other than that it's pretty good, I can't get it to fit just perfect but that'll take some playing with..

Also, in order for the gauges themselves to fit, you have to cut down one of the long "screws" on the back of each one.. Or i guess you could cut into the speedo/tach plastic face itself.. but i wouldn't do that

Sounds good to me.. Especially if they are in stock.. most places are out. This one I ordered a good 2 months ago and it finally came in those couple days ago. Install is a breeze, just remove your stock holder, re-run the lines to your gauges (a/f, boost, what have you), and pop em in.. You do have to clip on of the long "screws" on each gauge but that's no problem.. I'll take some pictures monday.

I just put mine in today. The screws that it comes with are for the bottom moint points (where the clips used to be). The top holes use the original screws.

yep, did you notice that the factory top screws don't fit flush with it and that they stick out a little bit? Just an observation from mine..

Actually the ones on the top fit fine on mine. I didn't bother putting in the ones on the bottom because they didn't sit flush.

The plastic stays on the gauge panel itself.. this is just a black plastic piece that goes over it.. BTW, does anyone else think it's pretty cool how the whol speedo/tach/instr. cluster just pops right out? That was great.
