Im doing something simliar... What I did was take the shade cups that come with them, and I inverted them in my dash, and using Loc-Tite vinyl/plastic glue, i melted them in... Then I molded the cups to the cluster, so its a smooth transition... Next, and I wish you did this because it looks a MILLION times cleaner, I painted the bezels of my gauges flat black... I used the same flat black to pain my gauge plate, and it all blends in nicely... Two things I like about using those shade cups, 1: it puts the gauge deeper, like the factory gauges are, and 2: the gauges are angled, like the factory gauges... I like how you did yours, like I said, the only thing I would do is paint the bezels... Get some blue painters tape, put it over the face, then use an exacto knife, or your thumb nail, thats what I did, and run it around the edge of the lens, peel off the excess, and you have your lens covered and protected, then paint, then peel the tape off the lense...

I like the look of the gauges. Good job getting them in there.

Reign - You post pics of your setup yet? Am really interested in how it comes out.

Yeah, that's exactly what I plan to do with my 60mm GReddy gauges that are sitting on my floor. I was going to remove the plastic cover from the gauges though, its harder to look through 2 layers of plastic than 1.

I'm looking to put an autometer boost gauge in our stock boost gauge location and your thread answered the exact question I had about the circuitry.
I dont think i'll do it that way anymore, I got another idea that should be good. But your cluster looks really good like that. Just seems like more of a PITA than I really want to deal with, lol
