i thought they would have looked better but its prob. the yellow that throws them off but overall clean install. how would you rate the install 1-10? now all you gotta do is replace the boost guage to match.

The boost gauge is being made as we speak...blackcatcustom will send one to anyone that ordered early...before they had a boost gauge made...I might even leave the original one in there since its up on the a-pillar and that way I still have a piece of the original stock gauge colors...as far as installing them...not too bad...you really have to take your time or you'll scratch the **** out of your plastic around the dash and mainly the top of the steering collum...no instructions came with it...but I can answer any install questions if you get hang up...the engine light is on because the key was in the ignition and turned on but not running...overall I would say the difficulty of the install was an 8 out of to 10...the hardest part is taking the needles off and putting them back on and recalibrating them...no it's not a whole new cluster...just a thin plastic template that snaps on the cluster.

Check engine light is on because the car is on accessory power (not running, with the key in the ignition).

I like them. I like the red faced gauges best, but I understand why you would have gotten yellow for your bannana-mobile!

Backlighting is white also...and its much brighter than before...as for the whole cluster...I dont think anyone has it for sale...It would be hundreds of dollars if they even did...considering thats the main interior computer built into the cluster.

I like the look of the white gauges in there, particularly with the color-coordinated SS emblem and lines. The only thing I don't like is the boost gauge still being black. Looks like you stole it and threw it in your car.

I don't think I like them. I like the look of the stock black guages.
