Here is a picture of the CP gauges that I just installed in a dual gauge pod from pfyc.com. I love them and they look bad @$$ at night.

oil temp, i was going to get an Air/Fuel Ration gauge to but the company that made these two doesnt make one so I was stuck with just two. These were the only gauges i could find that would match my dash gauges. Didnt leave me with much of a choice. Thanks for the compliment.

is the oil temp gauge really any helpful tho? i mean, what can it tell you about the motor?

sorry if it sounds like a dumb ? , but i'm mechanicaly inclined sometimes

and this might sound a little ricey but i got it because all the other gauges they had didnt pertain to my car, like a boost gauges and what not, its there to fill a hole and thats about it.

very nice. i'm personally looking into get'n some lunar gauges. and i was hoping to see what added on gauges look like. you just sealed the deal. (now i just need some cash... :lol: )

i figure the oil pressure and voltage will work for me. like jonny said.... i wanted voltage, but then need one more, and since the boost one is outta my league... lol

^dido^ they work for what i need them for and that was good enough for me to buy them. I got these for, I think, $55 a piece and then the gauge pod was $55 or so so after all said and done with shipping it almot cost me $200

yea those look good......and im havin the same trouble u were......getting something to match my reverse glow gauges....at first i had the green condoms on stock bulbs but they were so far off it was rediculous, not i got blue led's and they are a tad bit too blue, so im wondering if putting the green condom over the blue bulb might give it a slight aqua color.......

not to get too far offtopic but i was always told that even though you dont run a turbo or s/c setup a boost gauge is still helpful in some instances.. someone correct me if im wrong or if not let us all know what its good for?
