Try a search for shift lights or shift light pics, I've seen threads about it before.

The story on the wheel, is I hated the big factory one. It was very hard to see the gauges. I wanted an older one. I got that off eBay for $25. The seller said it was off a mid 70's GM car. I didn't care which one, I liked it. Got some shiny stuff and a big whole so I can see the gauges! A leather wrapped one, or one a little smaller in diameter would look more 91 ish, but this will do for now. The hood is a 4" add on pc. Search for 4" add on cowl, and you should find more pics.

mmk...


i didnt like the big one at first either, but its grown on me... helps the interior look more modern...


btw, i wasnt trying to insult you or anything, just wondering if you had a story involving a chevette you pulled it from or somthing... hehe

MrDude,
No insult taken. Believe me, that wheels not my favorite, but it will do for now. My ex-wife had a Chevette when we first met, I think it did have a wheel like that!!

Mine is made by a guy named Matt Harlan. His company is Harlan Engineering. It is better than any other lite on the market due to its programmable without needing chips or even a tach.

sounds like the pro-form light from jegs that costs a grand total of $50-60. i am very biased when it comes to gauges and stuff though. i will only run autometer. i currently have a set of bobo-brand gauges in there right now so i can monitor stuff till i can get the money for my sport-comp gauges. (hey, they were free)
