Default Center gauge bezel setup with Phantom Gauges!

Here is a pic of my center gauge bezel with the Phantom Gauges and the relocated blinker indicators and High Beam indicator (right side)
This might be interesting for somebody that is planning to convert their gauges to Autometer gauges!!!



:cheers:

Looks good! Any problems doing the swap or was it pretty much plug and play?

The center gauges are pretty easy to install. I am not very technical and I managed to change them very easy. However - the speedo and tach are a more difficult to install! I've posted some messages on the forum about the conversion in following thread:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=242500

There are several other threads about those gauges. Just make a search for "Phantom" in the forum in "Archived Topics"!

To be stupid for a moment -- ok, not just a moment. It reminds me of Sylvester the cat. "I like it. I like it."

...looks pretty good. I really like the seats in the grand sport.

I used 78 Pace Car Style seats. They look much more like sports car seats than the original early model seats!!!

They look too much like the gauges they (used to) put in farm tractors.

I like the white faces. It adds a "sporty" element. Are they still lit with white lights, or did you change the color?

I use red bulb covers. Therefore - the gauges glow red at night! Looks :cool: !!!
