I am in the process of installing Autometer gauges with a custom panel that was purchased from a LS1tech member that makes these for the 4th gen guys. I ordered a blank panel and drilled the holes for the gauges using a hole saw kit and a dremel to open the holes up some to allow the gauges to fit more freely. Was a pretty straight forward process. I am still working on the wiring to make it a clean install.

I used the Phantom 2 gauges. I like the plain look of them and black look when they are lit up. In addition to the stocker gauges, i added a Boost/Vacuum gauge that i will be using for vacuum for now and a Fuel pressure gauge. I also put a Harlan shift light in the panel. I am using 5/16" Painless LED indicators. The indicators are not installed in the pics in this post. With 8 gauges and a Shift light, the dash panel is going to look pretty busy.

I am going to finish it with a chrome carbon fiber overlay. Just waiting on that to arrive from New York. I will post more pics once complete in the next couple days.

 

Finished this project today. Here are some pics... More pics can be seen at http://www.fquick.com/garages/viewga...11&carid=28882

 

Wow those look good at night, now I want to figure something out for my regular phantom gauges, was thinking blue LEDs, but autometer wants a ton for them and I'm not sure they'd even look right at night. Guess I'll have to buy one to try out.

 

Looks good Sarge!

 

Nice and clean! Good job!

Looks great! How bright are your led's? I am going to be doing the same thing this weekend but do not want my signal and high beam indicators to be overpowering at night.
