Repacement gauges

[jeffreyk573]

I would like to replace all of my gauges over this coming winter. Does anyone have a good sugestion of brand, and source. I've looked at the
Faria gauges on thier website, they seem to have several choices of style,
but would like to have some experienced input..

I had all new Teleflex Lido series installed in mine this year and love them.

csuggs, that is a sexy lookin dash setup you have there, How much was all the gauges and panels in there??

Csuggs,
Did you do the installation yourself? If so how hard was it to do. That really does look great. It probably didn't look that good when brand new from the factory.

I used the same ones on my 94 supra, everything was working good but my tach is on the fritz.

That carbon fiber looks great. Where did you find that? Also, where did you buy your gauges at?

Clint,

I love the way those look. I think I'm going to go that route someday. Did Jim rewire everything under there when the gauges and dash was redone?

I did a carbon vinyl on my cluster a couple days ago...layed it on there, pulled the bubbles, and razor bladed the holes.

I'm going the carbon fiber vinyl route as well...all the looks for a fraction of the cost.

Sorry it took awhile for me to get back to your guys question, i was on a camping trip the last few days. Last boat trip of the summer, well camping/boating trip anyways.

I actually bought the carbon fiber in sheet form from http://www.protechcomposite.com/servlet/the-12/carbon-fiber-sheet/Detail and used the old plastic paneling as my template to fabricate the carbon fiber paneling.. I used a metal jig saw blade and two different size metal whole saw bits in a drill press. If i remember correctly i got the thicker one for the gauge panels and a thinner sheet for the bilge, blower, horn, etc buttons. Just the two sheets of carbon fiber set me back like 120.

The gauges were bought from http://www.iboats.com/Teleflex-Lido-Signature-Series-Instruments/dm/cart_id.815537655--session_id.692902407--view_id.47096 However I think i'm going to ditch the clock gauge and put a depth finder in, Does anyone have any recommendations on which depth finder i should be looking at?
