everyone has different tastes when it comes to
gauges.....i recommend you cruise through
the different gaugeweb sites,until you find the style
that you like best......

i like the autometer pro-comp ultra-lites, but you may
not

I'm a fan of Autometer Cobalts, that's what I have installed. I think they look a lot like the Nexus gauges, which I originally wanted, but they are much more economical. Whatever you get, make sure it has LED lighting. That way, you never have to worry about chaning a bulb.

I have the Autometer Cobalt Boost, Fuel pressure, oil pressure, transmission temperature and Wideband Air/Fuel.
I like the look and the blue lighting. I like them also because they are full sweep.

I use the Autometer Cobalt gauges. FWIW, I do have NEW Saleen boost and IAT gauges for sale in the classifieds section.

+1 on Autometer quality

I think alot of the people that go with Cobalts do it because the bezels match the dash bezels so well that and the colors seem to work well.
