Default I'd be happy to help you install it, but I'm moving to Newport News right after TT East.

If you're going to TT East, I'll help you do it there. Otherwise, let me know and we'll do it right after. I'll probably be back up for several weekends after that if you want help then, just let me know. Always happy to help out a fellow TTer.

Default all for the low low price of $270!

not worth it, IMO

Default my thoughts exactly

sick that we think a $100 gauge is cheap enough to tamper with. i think i might try to pry it open or something too. i think this one could match perfectly with some superwhites and some soldering.

Default perfection has a price

crappy lesser gauges were fine for my old mustang... but I woulnd't put that crap in the TT.

FYI most of the cost is from the gauge itself. Price an Omori or Defi gauge.. they are all over 100$

Default Here's a question for ya'... why are there different version of this gauge depending on

the year of the car? And since I have a 2003 225 coupe, why are there two different ones listed that fir that description?
