Default Custom Gauges

I'm thinking about doing a mod





And paint those black ^ I love the white/black gauge look.

I know the trim doesn't fit in the gauge I posted a picture of, just for example's sake.

I just wanted to ask, is RPM gauge necessary, and has anyone installed any of these? Is it hard?

i bought one off ebay....not to hard to do.

just take your time and wash you hands, trust me ....or your gauges wont be white for long.
they also make aluminum rings to go around the individual gauges for old school look, i did them on my mustang but not the blazer....just didnt seem right.

I like to keep the rpm's at or below 2k when i'm accelerating. It helps save some gas. That and shifting into second hurts if I don't keep the rpm's low.
