Default "Double D".... UPDATED NEw GUAGES

Firstly, let me preface this by acknowledging that Dennis's work is top notch! He is/was the most helpful vendor that I have personally dealt with on this forum. He was available all Friday evening ( when I started) all the way til yesterday. He was in the process of moving his daughter, staining a floor and yet he still had time to help me and answer questions pertaining to the install of his DD.... I am not finished. I am attaching the HVAC to the bezel with an epoxy ( screws/nuts) per Dennis's instructions. Still have some more trimming to do. Here are a few pics from the weekend.
Firstly a bath:







Once completed, I will post final results... Wiring was a breeze, Dennis was awesome. I would highly recommend his product. FOR ME, it was money well spent.

Great work on your part! Nice enhancements. I'm sure the new gauges will make it stand out even more.
