My 2013 Formula Fastech came with Livorsi gages. With the boat still in warranty, one oil pressure gauge failed. All gauges read correctly.
After some years and gauges still reading properly, the faceplates and needles were faded and LED lights where out in another. I called Livorsi and they said they can replace the needles, face plates and LED's. I told him to completely look at all the gages for corrosion, etc, and if it costs more to repair it, to just replace the gauge with a new.
What I received back was disturbing. Four gauges had what looked
like plastic shavings underneath the new lens cover and on the face plates. One oil pressure gauge read 5 psi low and the GPS Speedo read 4 mph slower. I sent the gages back multiple times for repair and of debris under the new lens cover. They then tried to blamed me for the condition of the gages. Even though I sent them an email telling them to go through the gauges. If I had to do it over again. I would buy from a different manufacturer.

Gaffrig has new 2 inch white faced gauges that just came out and are made in the USA. This is my new panel I made for my mirage, still waiting on the fuel pressure gauges to be released.

Looks great! I bought the same gauges except I didn't go with the bezels. I now wish I had. On another thread I asked about gauge orientation and you and I have them set up the same. A lot of guys will have only port gauges on the left and the starboard on the right side of the dash. I felt that you could get better info at a glance with them set up like ours. Nice job.
