I have had them in my truck for about a year now and I love them, install wasn't too bad, the hardest thing was putting the gauge needles back on so that they had the proper readings. Take digital pictures of the stock gauges when the truck is comleltey warm and idling with ac off so that you can remember what the correct rpm, temp, oil pressure, etc. readings are.

good tip there Idakota.

Can you get some pix uploaded of what yours look like?

Those pix on site seem like they probably don't look like that once installed.

I'd like some cool night time looking gauges as long as you can STILL read them easily and they don't look real Ricey like you see in every honda or Cavalier.

aren't the gauge needles notched or anything like that, i too want to get one, taking out the old gauge face is easy but i too was hesitant about the needles anyone know for sure.

My truck looks like it was in a knife fight, and lost! http://www.cardomain.com/ride/1275365

I didnt get mine from ebay, i got them from some website for $40 but they look to be the same thing. I had the nu image platinum gauges before and wasnt happy with them, i like the reverse indiglo gauges much better. The needles arent notched, i had a tool from my nu image gauges that popped them off, but i just pulled them of carefully, and then they just push back on, but if you push too hard the get hung up on the gauge face and if you dont push hard enough they wont catch on the pin so you kinda gotta find the happy medium. I dont think they look ricey at all, very clear at night, everyone is impressed by them.
