Great job, such a clean installation. More details, please, like where did you mount your sensors and where did you pass through the firewall to reach the speaker panel?

I took a metal coat hanger and used it to route the wires down the center section of the dash exiting next to the passenger side air vents and attached the power to a " add a circuit" at the fuse box. I should add that I also added crimp wire terminals so that I can remove the gauges and service them by unplugging them from the wire harness that is stored in the space that was made available by the removal of the center speaker. I ran the signal wires for the water and trans by drilling a 5/16th hole thru the fire wall behind the battery box and installed a small grommet to keep it water tight. For the diff cooler line I ran it down the passenger side floor to a hole with a gromment nearest the diff and installed a sensor in the drain line going to my diff cooler( drain plug). For the water line I installed a in-line water hose adapter. and for the Automatic trans line I have a aftermarket trans pan with a temp port. I should also state that all the OEM sensors and data screen on the dash still work, I have the best of both worlds.
I will be replacing the std. bulbs that came with the gauges with L.E.D.'s this weekend so that it matches the factory gauge lights better.
Hope this helps

Summit racing had the best prices. But you can also get it from American muscle.
