I don't know why but I never really like that look.

Here is the custom option, I might have the worst power point skills of anyone you know, I was messing with this for about 4 hours last night and finally just said it wasn't worth it. Its tough you have to download this image set up and keep everything at the same dimensions, then upload and design your gauges, once you have done that you have to realize you are working with transparencies all kinds of crap lol. If anyone wants to try I will hop on board and I'm sure there will be more to follow. Anyway here is the website, http://www.thehoffmangroup.com/aurora/ here is the download http://www.thehoffmangroup.com/aurora/aurora.html there are instructions on there somewhere depending on what program you want to use. They are not cheap though, they are cheaper if you build them yourself but then you have to mess with paint and hope u don't mess something up, you loose your piece of mind that it will be done right the first time.

below is the image that would look BA on every gauge


AS far as install goes, boost is fairly easy, water/intercooler temp is pretty easy, I don't think air to fuel is too tough either, that is what i am going to run.
I was planning on running the boost and A/F gauge, but not sure about the third. Glad to hear the install isn't too tough - hopefully someone will post instructions as I have no idea where to even start.

I will try and mess with the gauge design this weekend. I would like to keep them as close to the OEM look as possible...
