i thought the ones from performance products looked damn cool, but i started a thread on them about 2 weeks ago and i got no responses, and i dont wanna find out the hard way that they stink.
the link for the explorer 1997 gauges is here:

im seriously considering getting the NR gauges for the 98 explorer. one word of advice: do NOT do them yourself. i am always hearing nightmares about people screwing up their needles - actually i met someone 2 days ago who screwed up the needles in her car. if youre gonna get them, you should have a shop do them, i know when/if i get them, im having someone do them for me.
good luck. let us know which ones you get.
