I think they look good. Did you have to make a custom gauge holder? They look like they might be a little tough to see though. I like the location of the tach, you might want to think about a remote shift light though. You don't want to be taking your eyes off the track when it is getting time to shift.

mr. dude...they are for the fan and tcc(i had the covers laying around, my dad use to be a flight engineer for a C5 so we got them for free). to locate them in the ashtray it was not very difficult at all. i just fabbed up a piece of aluminum and put the gauges in using an angle ring to help me see them better. i did have to cut the plastic piece that holds the ash tray though. if you pull it off the car and look at it, you'll see the pieces you would have to cut off or reshape. i really like them where they are but i still think i may get the covan's classics peice or fab up a piece to put them in the stock location.
