I have used many guages and I like trhe look of the tpi but I will never use them again. They were 1/16 to small to fit in the dash so it took alot of hours to figure out how to get them to stay in and look right.

Love that tailgate...seriously. I would be surprised if you do not start a trend. I would not change it.
