The first pic is the refaced VDO gauges in Smith style by Howard Inst. and these should be around $1300. Its about $400 extra for the standard VDO gauges to be refaced and recalibrated this way. I think you have mentioned this the wrong way around!

Your second pic looks like the same gauges but I'm intrigued by the red lined rev counter. Are these HI refaced gauges and is the redline tacho a new item by them?

I've got the full set less clock but am yet to get these into a dash setting. Have tested the fuel sender and gauge and these worked well.

I understand the tacho is relatively simple to wire up and the speedo can be triggered failry simply as well. I know of at least one car running around with these gauges in it so it mainly comes back to your visual preferences on the gauges.

Cheers
