Custom Gauge Install @ VRE

Finally got all the gauges from Autometer, and put them in. It took almost a year for them to finish testing the Nexus line of gauges, but we think it was worth it.

What was $125.00? We made the instrument cluster for less then that, but the Autometer Nexus gauges were alot more then that. They are probably the coolest and most expensive gauges we have ever installed.

"Not a bad way to spend $10,000" (Vin Diesel, Fast and the Furious)

Lol, it looks badass, but I'm sure it cost a small fortune as the Nexus gages are AutoMeter's top of the line gauges and carry a very hefty price tag per guage.

They are mostly for the WOW factor, but do have built in waring lights, data logging and dash play back.

They should make the car faster, and create better fuel economy for the price they are charging . Dare I ask, how much did all the gauges and the Nexus controller cost all together?

Let's just say ALOT. We have 11 gauges and the 12 gauge controller with remote.

Lol, I had a feeling it would be too much to even tell us. It looks amazing though man. When you get the car up and running (if it isn't already) please get some in car video with the gauges for those of us that will only ever be able to dream about having them in our cars.

I will take a video on Monday of the start up process on the gauges. It is a production every time the vehicle powers up.

BTW we will be selling the instrument cluster plates for $100.00 with or without holes already drilled.

If you guys can get me the instrument cluster and the gauges for under $750, you've got a buyer! J/K

Are you guys by any chance making any clusters for gauges in the CD holder area under the CD player in a 4 gen Camaro? There used to be a company that made one for that area, but they stopped selling them
