Hey guys for you who have the Simco gauges or anyone who knows about them I am just wondering what makes them what they are. I know they replace your cluster and come with everything but other than that anything special that you couldn't find in another setup? And overlays vs these simcos?

Agreed. Its completely plug and play. The autometer cluster is just awesome, they just dont make it anymore

The autometer cluster I would have bought anyday. Shame they dont make it anymore. The regular simco cluster I just dont like. I dont care for the font style, the redline, the pony logo...I just dont like the look. So I went with the speedhut overlays. Far more involved install, but its half the price and you can customize them a great deal. I havent heard of anyone unhappy with either the simco cluster OR the speedhuts. Hell, there are ALOT of 03-04 cobra guys putting the speedhut overlays over their factory gauges. To me that says something.

I did the white overlays 1st, and it was meeeeh. It was better than stock I thought, then there was that mod you cluster for $8 bucks light trick that everyone was doing, and I thought it made it look awful after I did it.

So that is when I jumped on Simco cluster and I think they are sweet.
I would recommend.

the only thing I dont like is that the Simco logo is on it 4 times. in case you miss the first 3.

So after seeing pictures of the gauges I guess you lose the the check engine light and the low fuel... Is that right or am I just not seeing them?

Simco has apparently stopped making the Mustang gauges as well.

Nice looking gauges. I placed an order a while back and they ended up refunding my money because they were backordered so I just went ahead and bought some custom Speedhut ones. Love them.

Some of the Simco's products are just the overlay with pointers but some of them offer the bezel and lens..........and some are plug-n modules which are the complete unit minus the circuit board that you'll have to plug into the back of them.......pretty cool.

+1 to that -- It's a little much.
