Wow......... I am in utter shock......... I know what you were really thinking and you held back. Your getting better LS.. I had to read it over twice to see if you injected the "R" word...

[sm=icon_stickpoke.gif] lol

I took a long hard look @ my HVAC controlls at lunch today, I think I am going to pass as well. I just can't see spending $85 for a unit that will only run about $45 and like Monte, I am not sure this would even look good. I think I am going to stick with the gauges only.

TVW

 

yeah i hear ya but i would do it if they offer them i will see what i can find on ebay or somethign but im not going to spend 85.00 ethier for them

As far as doing them on teh dsash sure i would right now that part of the dash just dont look right to me after the others went in. But i would not even care if it was just a decal that didnt light up with nothign more then the stock lights on teh car it would look better to me.

I just want it to match durring the day when all can see it I dont care what they see at night.
that is when i see it for the most part.

Even just a white face over lay would be better then what we have now
But then again this is just me and as much as i love my car i really hate having everythign inside of it black.
to me it is kind of looking at a off wite wall and trying to find the light switch in the middel of it when it was painted the same color. you can find it if ya look hard enough but still not the best idea i guess/

Just my .02 worth
Sorry guys iu didnt have a clue what they were runnign was hoping to get them cheaper then that LOL

 

LMAO

I think the R word has hurt enough feelings around here

You know what would look nice though? Some brushed aluminum trim, like guage bezel, hvac control bezel, stereo bezel, shifter bezel, etc.

 

yeah i would agree with the alu8minum i had thought of that to till i seen teh prices LOL

Have to see if i can come up with somethign I just want to break it up some more.

I like the guages but it just needs a bit more of a break up in the middel of the car to help tie it all to geather Im trying real had to not paint anything inside the car .

If the body style changes and it gose rear wheel drive and has a v-8 hummmmmmmmm this car might be seeing a carlot agaiun LOL

or if they retro the Camaro like the rummors say they are thinking of might be getting one of them and keeping this one for show only or sunday drives

 

I know, that's why I never got a kit for my Accord. And now that I think about it, im not gonna do too much to the Monte either. Maybe a guage bezel but that's, I just want to keep it simple and clean.

 

i looked at one kit for the monte it was over 200.00us. pluse shipping i could not see paying that much for it knowing it was not even metal just templates out of vinal.

but i know i want to brak it up some just not to much to where it startes to look stupid.

that was why i was looking and the speed hut stuff it would match it to the speedo but agian i have to agree after thinking aboput it it might be to much but i will find something/.

I almost wish we had the same switches as the Rustangs they have billet switches you can get for them and replace the ones in you car with them. but they look completly diffrent then ours but would be a nice touch in our cars to LOL
and it would break things up some with out looking stupid . Damed rustangs

 

hey 04 monte its been awhile but did you ever see if the guages gould work with your car since its an 04 im thinking about getting some gauges now and i have the 05 with the same ?

 

unless you have a changed dash or the S/C version where you have the extra boost guage i belive they are the same dashes in the 04 and the 05.
Mine are on here some where so you can look at them to see what they look like . i would repost but i lost a hard drive and they were on it, But they are also on my car domain site.

 

im gonna email them to check just in case but does any one know of any other site that makes custom guages

 

belive it is black cat industries. just do a serch for black cat guages
I actually like them better as they send you the whole guage pod not just the over lay
But if they are the same and you want a set of the ones i have i have a extra set here identical to mine
