I love what you have done and since my dash had been hacked up by a past owner I am going to go the way you did.

Do you have a photo of the back side of the face plate by chance. I would love to see exactly how they are mounted and how they fit in relation to the stock dash cover.

Thanks a ton.
Yep, their mounted to the aluminum plate, this is the easiest way to install I believe, but as far as visibility I think recessing the gauges behind the bezel would be alot better.

Unfortunately I don't have any other pics of the install, my batteries went down in my camera, and I didn't really have time, or a vehicle to run to town for more.

The gauges come with mounting brackets to mount flush, so it was reall easy.

Here's a write-up Jeff did when he installed his flush mounted gauges.

Hope this helps ya out!
