Keep in mind that your dollar isn't worth what it was 10 years ago.

Those prices actually sound pretty fair. I'm sold on NVU.

So, in the original configuration , is the wood grain trim only held in place by the switches?

But that's just it, if you want anything remotely good looking you have to pay yup. Any less and you're looking at AutoZone-grade SunPros. I can't really talk too much **** about those, though, I bought a $30 small tach to put on the steering column.

Well, when you're looking at electronic, LED backlit gauges that are custom to your specific application with a five year warranty to boot, a grand for six or seven gauges really isn't that bad. A six-gauge pre-made kit from NVU though is only about $600, so you get all that but minus the customization.
