Nice write up, looks good, that's a crazy design in there but looks alittle more subtle with the dash lights on, been on their site all mornin and thinkin the diamond platinum ones might be for me, don't kno if I'm patient enough to do it tho

 

[BillBlatt18]

that looks sweet. i would like the escy platinum gauges for mine.

Looks real good, I like it on your truck, but tis a little busy for me. I like the plain stainless ones.

Well I wasn't to excited about the mechanical series at first but after realizing that the needles for the mechanincal made the gauges look a little more custom I decided to roll with it. I am incorporating the gears into my custom paint jobnext month and I am redoing my suede headliner with Katzkin Leather and I will be having my interior guy make 3-d gears to stand out in the headliner.. My thinking is since my Yukon seems like it will never be done. I am adapting the theme to " the gears are always turning" as in " Never Done"

Yukon roof is the same as a tahoes correct? Vent placement etc. Sell me that used suede headliner

the factory gauge in the yukon is pretty ugly... i did want to change that out but it just felt like its too much risk and work

So does it illuminate blue or still that green color?
