Default AU Guage pod and guages in & working

After having them in unwired for some time now, thought it was time to pull my finger out and get them wired up and working.
BIG thanks to Brian (Bri Bri) for wiring this all up for me.

I love mine ... I didn't even need to stick mine to the console ... the fit is that snug and perfect that I didn't bother (especially if i need to pull my centre console out it will be easier anyway).

One of the best interior mods I have done ... even the wife thought they were factory.

Is yours black?
I may be very keen to buy it for a mate of mine.
What sort of $$$ will you be looking at?
