Gauges

I've finally decided to by a set of gauges.
Can you guys post pictures of yours and tell me where you bought them?
Also if you had bad experience with some kinds, please let me know as well.
Thanks

I'm assuming you mean like reverse glow guages? some have purchased from ebay, and various other sites.

I dont know, I believe this is one of those time when a trip to the dealer is needed. Either that or just drive around with different milage and remember the amount of mile you put on to add to your previous guages for an acurate reading. Best to call a bunch of dealers and get some prices, not all dealers charge to same for same work.

why would you need to change the milage? if all you are doing is changing the just the faces, what is the need in reseting the odometer, you dont need to replace the whole guage cluster!

No, I'm just talking about faces. I just found a couple of different kinds.
Paradox Systems has one kind for sale http://www.paradox-systems.com/product.html
And so does redline.
Show me the kinds that you have.

Was it hard to put them in? Did you screw them in or you used a double sided tape?
I have a 98 SE.

On ebay there are none for my year. Only old style glow gauges which look nasty.

DoOki, can you control anything in your gauges? Can you turn off two circles in the middle?
