Installed the Speedhut gauges. What a great sight to have all gauges working for the first time since I bought the car. The tach, oil pressure, and voltmeter were all dead.
I'm extremely happy with the Speedhut gauges and the great customer service they provided through out the process. Instuctions made install a breeze.

They look very nice, I'll bet they'll match perfectly the red/white GTs, do you mind sharing your order specs ? (font type, etc...)- Thanks !

Night view is great! Day view too. Well chosen. Bet they look great with your car color.

Oooof,

I hope that is just camera angle that makes the aluminum panel look like a very different color. Is Yours something other than the brushed aluminum in black that they offer? :confused

Mine are on order, waiting for special parts to arrive, I need to know If I need to get the plain brushed panel and have it hard coat black anodized which is what I believe the OEM panel is.

Agree with everyone, your gauges look great.

I ordered the black finish. Apparently the vendor they used for these painted them the wrong color, and there has been quite a delay getting the correct ones in. I've been out in the middle of nowhere with no phone service. I will give them a call today to find out if indeed this is the black finish.

Junior, they are the white dial/red font, font is Eurostyle, and pointer is red/glows red. Bezel is the revolution silver. Hope this helps.

Just spoke to Speedhut. They just received the black panels and are shipping one out to me. Not sure if I want to replace it though. Then againg I'm just happy to have gauges that work!

Please keep us posted on the panel. They should be hardcoat anodized (not paint) in my opinion.

The night view reminds me of a helicopter night-ops lighting, very cool.

Those really look great Rickymay!

Interesting that I had the same issue last week with Speedhut. Ordered the set with the black panel. Arrived and the gauges were spot on but the the panel was gray. I called them, Elise in the office apologized and made the correction. Supposedly my black panel in on the way...they have already sent me a UPS return label for the gray panel.

Ricky, do your say "Speedhut" on them? On the very bottom? They tell me they all say that now and its NOT removable.

They look great, the only thing I would like would be to have a flat bottom tach.......

Love the fuel ga. And the shift lights.

They don't have Speedhut imprinted on them. Interesting that they put that on as they offer custom printing on them.

Still haven't received the correct black faceplate. Talked to them again last week and was told they would ship it out for this week.

I spoke with them today. ALL new orders will have (printed on the bottom) "Made in the USA by Speedhut" on them. You can PAY $20 each to have this removed.

Not the best marketing plan I have seen.......
