New Gauges installed Pics inside

Well I finally got them in and I think they look killer. Take a look
Before



After They are the Dpriol Gauges and I got Boost and Pryo so far


I don't know how well this one will turn out but you can sorta see them threw the windshield

and because I cant drive yet it was important that I could see them from the pass seat and I can

Tell me what u think
Nick

When will the 01 be yours? I assume you keep modding the one you get-right?

No its still under warrantee and I ask the dealer and they said they would void the warrantee if I added them

Nick...aftermarket gear will NOT void the warranty. The Magnusen-Moss act prevents this.

Basically....if you installed gauges let's say....and the engine fails...they must fix the engine. Unless they can prove that your aftermarket equipment caused problem..the warranty is intact.

It's like driving a police car, they will block the vision to the left just like a spotlight does.

I therefore do not particularly care for them.

Sheriff,

For most of us...the CAGE pretty much blocks our view from the BACK seat of a police car...so...

these gauges are a GREAT improvement of road visibility! ... I'll take the gauges! LOL

Typical LOCAL warranty response is blaming something so they do not cover it. Get to regional or other manager/warranty rep and they will not normally say that unless it is directly related. Gauges would not normally cause an issue with something unless install went awry.
I had one instance of this but next level warranty guy just said they would handle it and they did. This was BMW tho.
Brought jeep in for suspension issue and they blamed lift off the bat. I argued for them to show me how it was lift's responsibilty for issue and they changed out a couple bushings and it worked. They could not prove it was lift issue so they fixed what they would have without lift and it was issue. I did have to argue about it but first response was to blame something else. It happens

Just ask the cop if you can drive.
