Blah..I got a cheapo one from Ebay for 38 bucks..tried putting it in, but the screws on the back of the gauges hit the plastic over the gauges...i trimmed the screws down as much as possible, & it STILL wouldn't work. Pissed me off....Word of advice though..do NOT use a bench sander to make the screws shorter..the screw heated up so much it moved & warped a litte...
In the picture, you can see that the back of the gauge goes WAY out beyond where the bezel would rest against the instrument cluster. So I'm thinking about buying a Lo-tek A-pillar gauge..either that, or just extending the gauges out towards me more, but I'd have to bring it out like an inch for it to fit...think that'll work? They already look like they're kinda hard to see..looks like you'd have to lift your head up a little to see around your steering wheel..if it's extended out more, I would think it would be really hard to see.
Also, this one didn't come with the white clips at the bottom...that gonna be a problem?
