Re: gauges
I had my gauges done at Palo Alto. They did all of mine in one week.
I would advise you to try and get Brad to give you your gauges back. I just ended a very frustrating (3 month) experience with him myself. I could not get my front emblem back from him, and credit back my money for the emblem I purchased and returned to him. He used the flu excuse on me too. Plus the I'm very busy now and I will try and get to it, blah blah blah. I ended up getting VISA involved. They refunded my money. PM me if you want. Good luck.
Happy motoring!
