Yes I do have my gauges installed just waiting for the HVAC.They are super easy to install.  Don't worry you shouldn't have a problem if you can hook up a radio, you can hook up these gauges.

Yes I do. The only thing you'll need to pay extra shipping on is your HVAC when I get them in.
To everyone else, I'm pushing these people as much as I can, they keep telling me they are working on filling the rest of the order and it will be the end of february before they get shipped.  I only ask for your understanding in this and I want you all to know I'm not going to let anyone in this group buy get screwed. I'm doing my best. 
how much extra? sne dthem now.

Ok so far we have six people who have paid, I'm the first.LOL Paid list. 1)1BADTOUR 2)Josch 3)advocate 4)abilies 5)manfre6)Bumpin Ok lets make this list grow. Oh and this is also going to be the order the gauges or shipped out, whoever is on the list first, gets there gauges first. I guess being bumped 7 places lower on the list is better then not being on the list at all. First Group Buy I participate in and months later nothing

I'm full of crushing disappointment. Or am I?
I just finally decided to start taking my instrument cluster out to do the swap, and crap! I just noticed that it is NOT going to fit!
The RPM side looks good. But the speedo side of the old one on my car has the trip-o-meter cutout WAY TOO LOW, and the odometer cutout above the needle WAY TOO HIGH. Neither one of them even comes close to lining up. The new indiglo set has the cutouts at a much closer radius to the needle cutout than mine old one! So has anyone else experienced this or just me? Is this a late model/early model thing??
If I can't make these work then does anybody want mine?
Can the company who produced these make some that WILL fit my '95 SE V-6 car? I think I'm stuck with the speedo I got now since mine is cable ran, or maybe I could convert my speedo to electronic VSS powered speedo like later models got if that is the difference?
Anyone got ideas or feedback? OneBadTour, maybe you?
Thanks,
Josch

Dude I'm sorry to hear that, the only thing I could suggest is you switch over from a cable driven speedo to a electroinc driven one, I have done this in my 95 and it works perfect. There are a bunch of gauge clusters for sale on ebay, other than that maybe a junkyard. If you have anymore questions about that just PM me.

What else do you have to do to hook up electronic speedo? Do you need the vehicle speed sensor off the newer car, or will the '95 VSS still work? What else was required to wire in the electronic one?
And what year instrument cluster am I shooting to get? '96 on up? Or are there only certain years to get? Could you please tell me all that I may need to know to help me avoid any possible pitfalls that may arise? I'm sure I could figure it out on my own since I am a Master Tech, but maybe you could save me the trouble of having to find out the tough way.
I assume in order to function, the later model electronic speedo needs a 5v ref for power, and a ground along with a VSS signal input, correct? Or was it more complex than that? How did it work with caliberation wise? Did you just wind up using the original VSS off the '95 or did you need to change that with later model as well?
Also, if I got a say, '98 instrument cluster, then could I just take out the actual speedo module and bolt it into my 95 instrument cluster? Or do I have to use the whole instrument cluster from the newer car. (Because I would wonder how the rest of the gauges and indicators would work with the 95 harness.
Anyways, thanks for all your help
