I replaced mine at the start of the year with dakota digital gauges for my 66 coupe. I can't remember what i paid for them, possibly $800 US but i had extra costs for freight and we have a pretty average exchange rate over here so that made them more expensive. They came in a new bezel which fitted straight in, easy to install (and i say that not having much of a clue when i started on them). I'm really happy with them, nice features on them and i think they look pretty good. Here's a couple of pic's of how mine turned out.
Yeh JME is definetly charging a premium for the gauges. As soon as aftermarket bezels for 1969's/70's come out im going to go with dakota digital gauges. I've been told to expect the bezels sometime later this year. Hopefully at a reasonable price. (not the $500 premium that JME charges)
