Here's a picture of my gauge. Unfortunately, the one I received has the screen inside the gauge mounted a bit crooked. I've contacted Zack at UAS and we'll see what we can do.
Aside from that, I decided NOT to cut the dash up and just make a bracket to mount the gauge from behind. This was very simple. A backstrap and two screws was all it took to securely mount the gauge to the back of the dash. If you'd like to cut the hole for the clock a bit larger, then you can place the gauge through the hole from the front like it's intended to be, and you can have the flush mount look. I didn't want to have to go out buying parts to get this car back to stock, so this is the route I took.

I got a message back from Zack at UAS today, and he had Dakota Digital second-day air me a new gauge to swap out! GREAT BUSINESS!

When I ordered my kit last summer, I didn't get them. I wasn't really worried about it since they can be gotten at any hardware store. I noticed the clank everytime I pulled into my driveway, so it got a bit annoying. My biggest concern was when the dealership changed my oil. I had to go out and line up the upper cups as they set the car down off the lift. They did not fall out or come out of the upper mount enough to worry about. They would have seated again once the car was set down, but mine were aired all the way up. So in case I forgot to air them all the way up next time, I figured I better do something while I had it apart this time.

I am going to leave mine the way it is for now. When the car goes on a hoist, I inflate my bags as far as they can go. That way they will not fall out of place.
