Ok first off I want to say that the installation was not hard like people said at all. My dad and I had the entire assembly out of my car and peeling off the gauges in about 10 minutes. The only hard part was cutting the gauges' little bitty internal holes for the needles and stuff like that. I highly recommend spending the extra money and getting the pre-cut gauges instead of being a tightwad like me and spending an extra 30 minutes cutting those bad boys. I love the way they look on my car and only cost me $30. I highly recommend these for people who want white-faced gauges, but want to go with something different than the standard LMS gauges that a bunch of people on here have. U can get them here and he can custom make them anyway u want ;

Where did you get the Bullit idea. We did the LMS Bullit VIII about 3 years ago.

We have the same pricing, we were the original Mark VIII files out there and the better looking imho and designs as well. We hve ANY designs you can think up, we have the REAL fire flamed gauges as well.

Looks pretty good.However you painted the needles red but forgot to paint the whole thing? IMO it looks much cleaner having the whole thing painted. Look at pics of my setup in the other post for reference.
