Default Gauge Conversion

Hi Guys,

I'm thinking about converting my guages to exactly the following look from North Hollywood Speedometer. Has anyone dealt with them (positive or negative experience)?

Additionally, how much do you think a conversion like the one pictured below should cost?



TIA,
Sachin

They are very good at what they do and their pricing is fair. They fixed my Tach for me on the spot and at a great price to boot.

be sure to throw in some extra money to cover the necessary wiring mods required to swap the clock and the fuel gauge....

Sachin- Wow what a great looking set of guages. As a West Coast Rennlister I can vouch for the upstanding reputation of North Hollywood Speedometer. Of course we will need to see an as built/iinstalled photo when all is neatly tucked into the dash. Go for it.

Don't our gauges get illuminated from behind (translucent areas) so the effect will be different than that seen with these opaque gauge faces that are illuminated from the front?

Exactly.

These are from 911 where the illumination is different, although with same colors (faces & lights), 993 gauges probably will look at least somewhat similar.
