Sorry, I have no pictures handy either but I loved them on my Mach. Easy install to do and they really make the guages pop. You won't regret it.

thanks for the pic !

how hard are they to install ?

Olivas · 05-03-2008, 02:23 PM

Not that difficult, just take your time when taking apart the gauge cluster. Going slowly, still should only take you about 30min to install.

Exactly! This is a simple job to do. I love mine.

fordnut02 · 11-12-2008, 06:15 PM

are these still avaible ?

G · 11-12-2008, 07:31 PM

Easy install but don't plan on taking them out. They come out fine but they rub against the overlay and leave marks that would be ugly if removed.

we3hokies · 11-12-2008, 08:04 PM

Go over to svtperformance and look in the pics and video section. They are getting ready to do a group buy on a nice set of inserts.

fordnut02 · 11-13-2008, 07:46 AM

Thanks for the info !

03mach1 · 11-13-2008, 02:27 PM

I have the chrome ones.

Yes, not too bad to install (less than an hour) You just have to remove the guage Cluster, remove the plastic covers, place the inserts in, and being careful putting it all back to together and not bumping or dropping it, they just fit in and the pressure of the cover holds them in place.

www.explicitauto.com is where we used to get them from, they are the mfr's of them.

If we have enough interest, we can probably get them too at a discounted rate.

11-13-2008, 07:20 PM

Those look really nice.

GreatOne99 · 11-13-2008, 08:39 PM

forget the stock gauges go with the simco gauges, or the mrt gauges ,best looking gauges on the market imo.

fordnut02 · 11-13-2008, 08:47 PM
