Hey guys, hope all is well.
What brand of aftermarket digital gauges are you guys running? I will most likely be buying a few within the next few months. I want to make sure I get the best bang for buck, I've had too much bad luck with cheap shiznit lately :hick:
Thanks guys!

I built a cluster for my Turbo Coupe using all Auto Meter gauges. Have the GPS unit for my speedometer. Look and work great.

I'd love to see a pic of that^^
I'm thinking of going full aftermarket on the gauges on my 87 T as well, I'd love to see other's setups.

Autometer in the Bird, Autometer in the Coupe, and the F100 will also have Autometer. Their custom shop is awesome. I want vintage type gauges for my F100 and the ones I like are 3 1/8" diameter for the GPS speedo and tach. The problem is the speedo only went to 120 mph and the tach was only showing 7K. They asked if I could go 3 3/8" diameter versus the 3 1/8" and if I could they could make a 140 mph speedo and a 10K tach and even sent mock ups of what they would look like. I am sold so now to start saving the $$$.

In that picture I have a warped bezel on the left side. Looks better with the new bezel installed.
