I know alot of you have purchased one of these expensive puppies...

but so you know dakotadigital.com carries them also, ALOT CHEAPER in price as well...
overhead plate

 

i took my factory peice and cut holes in it with a hole saw and stuck my gauges up there,, i have the pics on my camera. but i have no batteries for it at this moment..

 

Trippin is the person who makes the one at SoCal. Double check with the other company who sells for a lot less as it may be made by Autometer. I hear the fitment on the Autometer sucks as far as the overhead mount goes. However, the Trippin is very nice and is made of billet aluminum and in your choice of satin, polished, or black I believe, with and without switches.

 

Will that DD piece fit in a 99+ console though?? I looked in my new Auto Meter book and didnt see any gauge plates like that for a Silverado.

Another plus on the SoCal piece is the gauges actually angle towards the driver. And they are recessed a good bit too.

 

now where are you going to put your sunglasses?! LOL.

 

I usually fold mine over the corner of a visor...

 

That is a huge plus. I got mine from SoCal last year and it didn't angle towards me.

 

that reminds me one drawback of my tripple gauge A-pillar. when you have to use your visor if you dont fold the corner when you pull it down it will slam the pillar pod.

 

ack...I can see it now, my $200 oakleys flying out the window!
