just wondering if anyone here has used one of these and if any one had pictures, and how well it fit?

they fit perfectly however, its cheaper to go to jimmy jams buy the plate and put your own gauges in. do a search for pix

They fit very well and I love mine, but I think if I had to do it again I would just use the original gauge plate and put gauges into it and used an A-pillar gauge pod for the guages that would be missing. I got the black plastic face and was expecting it to be a little more durable, but it seems very flimsy for $115 just my 2 cents. But it does look very good installed.

wow thats pretty sharp, how do those SC2's look at night?

They look good, I just used the white bulb but the come with red and green covers for a more custom look. Except the spedo and tach you have to tell autometer what color you want when you order them.

I always wondered, do those gauge panels have provisions for all of the lights? Check engine, brake, turn signal, brights, etc. etc.

No they don't they only have the mounting holes. Everything else you have to make yourself. Whenever I have the time, (and my car) I'll drill out holes for the turn signals and 2 additional holes for high beams and check engine and use LED's.
