Default Good idea?

I was looking at some websites and saw a couple people with gauges and pods, and I really like how it looks so I was thinking of getting 2 guages for my car

-Oil Pressure
-Fuel Pressure

and they are ford racing gauges, heres the link.

I think I will get them.

Unless you are running a turbo, supercharger, or nitrous you should NOT get gauges. A complete waste and very ricey. Please dont do it unless you have or are planning on going some type of f/i.

Get whatever the hell you want. i really dont know why people always need the input from other people before a purchse. I understand that we are all afraid of buyers remorse and having support form others helps jumping the hurdle and actually purchasing the item, but you need to weigh the concequences on your own. If you need other people to convince you to buy something you probably didnt really want or need it in the first place. It sounds like you like them, so go for it.

I really like the looks of the gauges and think it would set the whole interior to a whole new level.

I also like knowing just how my car is running, and if there are anythings I can fix before something happens. I also plan on going FI in feb. or march.

I didnt start this as a way to make a decision, it was more to show others where to get the gauges incase they want them, and to see if there are any better ones out there.

Does anyone know which ones light up blue, like the "My color" dash blue?

also would it be smart to swap one of them out, and put a boost gauge in (when I go FI) or should I keep those two, along with the boost?

i really like the style of the ford racing
gauges, i would have gone with them, but
the gauges didn't have the ranges i was
looking for.

you may find that in the future you'll need a gauge
and the ford racing gauges won't fit the bill....make
sure you plan it out as best you can before hand....

i found that the autometer pro-comp ultralites, had
a wide selection and had the ranges i was looking for
