The paint is extra and you pic the paint to match your interior, mine matched just right. When you hook it up, you hook into the dash lights so the dimmer will work as well. I will try pics again, I had to reboot my computer a little while back and now it will not recognize my kodak program. I would love to show it off if I can!

A counterpoint for you Bill. I have a two guage A-pillar setup and the outer vent shades as well. The two guage mount has nothing above the guages to block your view. Unless you are less than 5 feet tall the guages do not interfere with your line of sight. As posted earlier it's also the easiest place to view the guages. You don't have to remove your eyes very far from straight line of sight ahead to be able to read the guages. Plus the Isspro pyrometer has that color coding so you can sort of read it out of the corner of your eye.

As alway, I appreciate your input and advice, but I think that I will opt for the two gauge cluster cover for my engine temp and oil preasure. I reeaalllyyy like the grab handle too.
