Black Cat Custom Gauges

So I wanted to get Cobra gauges, but I was unaware that they were indiglo... Which is besides the point. I ordered Black Cat Custom gauges in their retro style in pearl blue. Now I have been nervous for three weeks waiting for them to get here (that's what he said the waiting period would be) But now that I have them, all worries are gone. They look AWESOME. I installed them in just over half an hour, and they are perfect. Rest assured that if you order from them they will be gorgeous. The only hangup I have with them is that I ordered them with a clear film on the back, because I plan on using blue LEDs with it, and have not gotten them yet. So that is why they are lighting up yellow.

Check them out. I couldn't get a good pic with my phone in the dark, so that will have to wait.

Somewhat of an old vs new.



Installed in the cluster.



Installed in the car.

They also have a more standard look if this isn't what you like. Quite a good selection of colors, and according to them they can custom make anything you want (read: $$$$$$) but still. If you ask me, if you want to stick out, custom gauges is a good way to do it.

Thanks guys. I'm just kicking myself for installing them completely before checking to make sure they were calibrated right... It says I'm going 15 when I'm stopped.... Completely my fault, and now I have to take them out and apart again.

Those look a lot like the Simcos I used to have. Very nice looking gauges. I just wanted something a little more unique, and I think that's what I got going with BlackCat.
