When I was researching them I ran across a Honda/Acura forum and they were complaining about the quality. Like you however, I don't mind modifying it to make it cleaner/more OEM in appearance. I really only need the single for my boost gauge and it appeared to not cover the fuel level as badly as the coolant temp. But then I feel like the unbalanced look of only the one gauge would drive me crazy... Maybe I'm just too picky. Lol!
