i got the gauges from summit. all the gauges and the panel cost me 375. i love them. it included the sending units too. they are auto-meter pro-comps. i had to modify the hell out of my original setup. where the speedo and tach are, i had to slightly widen the holes to get the 5" gauges in there. if you have ever taken your dash apart, you'll see why. behind there is sort of a circuit that runs all of your gauges and lights. there is a white panel that everything mounts to that has to be modified. you have to cut alot of things off to get the needed clearance. since ive never done it before and there was alot of trial and error, it took me about 25 hours to get the finished product. i dont have any pics of it taken apart and i play hell gettin them out, so i dont want to take it apart to take pics, but if you want what i got, i can e-mail some step by step directions.

i really like that... since im not a fan of white face gauges, and that seems to be what a lot of ppl replace them with, seeing those blackface ones look mean as hell though lol, those phantom gauges pics dont look too bad either... but i like the black better

Guages look super sweet.
next mod suggestion...
... lose the steering wheel. That has to be the ugliest/worse designed steering wheel ever. Its probably blocking a lot of your view of the guages you put in.

the gauges look awesome though, and id figure youd need a 160 speedo with the 383 .. its nice.
