replace stock gauges with aftermarket gauges?

[unicyclemidget11]

is it possible to replace the stock gauges in the center console with aftermarket gauges?

[Im2Fast4U]

Yes

edit: well actually, no. But only because there aren't any gauges in the center console to be replaced. Now if you mean the main gauge cluster or the three in the cluster to the right, then yes.

i was looking to get this gauge:this gauge

can i hook it up to whatevers going to the stock gauge or do i have to buy some more stuff?

Why would you get that gauge? And why would you only replace one gauge? It would look goofy as hell to have one aftermarket gauge and the rest stock. If you're changing one, change them all.
Check with some other sites too to get soem quality 3000GT gauges:

But most gauges should come with everything you need.

Also note...that while it is possible...it is far from easy. It is truely a PITA from everyone I've heard who has done it. If you do some searching, you'll find this topic comes up every so often.

Good point. The ones in the main gauge cluster aren't too completely terrible but the 3 to the side can be a major PITA. If you have a passenger airbag, the job becomes easier because you can pull it and get alot easier access to the gauges but either way, it tends to be time consuming and tries your patience.

i came up with an easier way to remove the center gauges. remove glove box, head unit,the a/c unit, center vent, and the main cluster. most already know that, but once thats done its still a pain to get to the screws. so what i did is removed the long bracket that supports that center air duct. and removed the screw from the other bracket an just moved that to the side. then there is a screw way up in the center air duct. i used a bunch of extensions to reach it an removed that(never put it back in either ) then u can pull that center air duct to the right. but it takes some force and the duct that connects tot he right of it will get flattened out. once thats done its easy to remove the screws and remove the center gauges.. just remember its gonna take a little time to get that duct connecting to the right back to bein a square tube so that it goes back on it. if u were determined, u could get the center gauges out in a day. putting them back in position is harder than takin them out.. but putin the glove box an everything else back on is easier. u could prolly get them out an back in , in a day as well...

but on the gauge ur lookin at i dont think it will fit in with the other 2. there all in one piece an is maybe 2 1/2 inches deep.
