the pics do not do mine justice, I will take some better photos tomorrow. I chose to brush the finish on mine.
Tex, let me know if you need the contact info on the holder.

I bought electric autometer C2 guages boost and fuel pressure. Now I need to decide on a brushed or chromed gauge panel. I'm wondering if I should go ahead and get it with switches, or wait until I need them and get some cool switches. I might add a couple of LEDs up there to have a visual when my electric fans are running (or not running).

You can get one like mine without the swtiches. There are two pilot holes on the back to drill for the switches when you are ready.

It is a pain to go back and tear it out to drill, wire, etc. Do it once, the switches are only a few bucks extra. They come in really handy, I use mine for fuel pump control and nitrous arming.
I was worried about how the polished aluminum would look but it rocks. I have a brushed overhead mount in my 2002 and it does not look near as good to me as the polished in the 2005.

Thanks for sharing BMDMAX. I was going to order the brushed one, but he didn't have any in stock. So I'm going with the polished. I was worried the polished would not look as good as the brushed. Glad you posted your comments.
I opted for the non-switched mount. I'd rather install my own switches. I'll go ahead and run the extra wire under the headliner and pillar.
