Full Gauge Assembly from Hawk's

Instead of doing it piecemeal, I purchased the whole gauge assembly from Hawk's - came with 6 Autometer gauges, a new bezel and wiring from American Autowire.

There are enough reviews on Autometer gauges, so I won't bother going over them. I did post some pictures of the Cobalt ones, I really like the color.

The new bezel appears to be of high quality and allows you to mount the gauges & do some of the wiring before doing the swap, which is nice.

The wiring kit from American Autowire is also good quality, but the directions are pretty much useless. They are very in-depth, but need to be updated for the new gauge style. I also found some contradictions regarding certain wire colors, and other wires were ignored in the instructions completely. I called American Autowire, their tech support wasn't helpful at all, so I was left to fend for myself. I was able to figure everything out with some additional research, but I was hoping for a little bit better direction.

Re: Full Gauge Assembly from Hawk's

I have heard their wiring harnesses was pretty much useless for all the applicatons for years.

The other stuff is great like you said.
