After looking at both I just don't particularly care for how the gauges line up on the MC set, specifically in a 90-93 dash. They look great in the 87-89 though.
Probably cause they dont make one for the 90-93 models
I did wire the gauge lights off the power for the dimmer, but it doesnt do anything for dimming the lights, maybe its cause they are LED's and not a traditional bulb

Well aware of this but they outline how to "make it work" on the 90-93's on their site. Now that I look at your pictures again it seems like the top left gauge is slightly higher than the top right gauge in the straight on pictures, is that just the angle of the picture or maybe a small difference in the shape of the dash?

so the top left guage sits off a little, i have an 89, this might make me change my mind back to florida50, but i really want the aluminum!
the more i think, and look at it youre right! im gonna stick with the plate you have, and maybe try to modify it to level it out if its possible...my car isnt really a race car, more of a show car so thats why i was thinking of changing my mind to the other setup... thanks for the info!
if its not a race car why get aftermarket gauges at all? Its not like you'll need the accuracy of aftermarket ones. Better 1100 spent elsewhere.
because the stock gauges suck monkey balls? its a mod that i've been considering doing for a while now, considering the stock tach is horrid, i dont want a 5" one on the dash, and i'd love to move the accurate gauges from under my radio to a more glance-and-see spot.
plus it just looks dang cool.
i know thats why i changed them
but for alot its better to just calibrate the stock tach 1100 is a good start on an hcilooks for sure, having hella issues with my stock guages, and ill be one step up at the shows! besides, its a mustang, i mean i dont race it or anything like you do, but lets face it...as long as they arent in jy shape, they are all performance machines (even if they arent 10 second cars) who knows, might gain some encouragement to make mine faster after lookin at them all day!
If you're having issues with your stock gauges you might still have the same issues after your aftermarket ones.
but at least if i try to replace my guages with this new set, ill have an excuse for blowing about a grand, as to where my wife has no logical explination for spendin the same for a freakin purse!
