New to Acurazine, 02 TL Type S

Here is my 02 Type S, picked it up with a bad trans for $2,800 and 191,xxx miles, Replaced the trans with a honda accord and put on a used tl-s engine with 48,xxx miles, car runs like a dream, i love it, best car i have ever owned. Here are the pics. Please comment.

Those gauges look sick at night! I'm considering doing the same but the redline is wrong for the Type S. Also doesn't look like there's an opening for the traction control light? The little triangle between fuel and temp gauge.

Hey guys thanx for all the comments, i feel very welcome. I love the gauges been looking for a while and found them on ebay one day for $50, my friend was looking for them a while ago and couldn't find them, they are black reverse glow gauges, it has all the openings for the indicators just cant see them in the pic, the redline doesn't really bother me all that much. I used a 2006 trans from a 4dr accord, $650 from a rear ended accord and the motor also from an 03 tl s rear ended for $700 labor was $400 for both, it took me a day to do the leds, gauges and install the pioneer headunit, i wired the sub and everything and all thanx to these forums without them none of these would of being completed, also h&r lowering springs, due to lack of funds got them used from a friend but they are in good shape.

Why don't you make your own custom gauge. 1.Photocopy old gauge 2. Photoshop gauge 3. Print on clear film paper(staples can print it for you if you don't have the clear film paper) 4. Cut out gauge 5.Install and enjoy! Custom gauge diy any one up for the challenge.
