Default Question about gauge installment

Ok, I got a couple questions about some gauges. I am getting a 100 shot of nitrous, tune, etc. done very soon. I have decided that I am going to install said gauges, as follows:
- fuel pressure gauge ( full sweep)
- nitrous pressure gauge (mechanical or electric)
- 3 3/4" tachometer

All are going to be Autometer Phantom II gauges

Has anyone done one or any of these gauges before and how did it go? Is it something that I could do myself as a driveway project or should I have it done when I get the juice tuned? Any feedback would be great. The gauges will go in the empty slot above my head unit. SN95s had two slots for the radio. I replaced the bottom with a head unit and the top is empty at the moment. That is where the two small gauges are going (2 1/16") The tach is going on the right hand side, above the instument panel. I am pretty sure that I can do this myself. I am dead against putting the gauges on the A pillar because that is a dead giveaway for performance or rice hahahahahaa Thanks for the help.

Well I am going to do pretty much the same thing this weekend. What I understand, you should probably get a a/f gauge too. The Nitrous pressure and the a/f should be fairly easy but I really dont know too much about the fuel pressure. Just have to make sure that you put the feed from your nos gauge before your purge solinoid if you have one.

I have never done gauges before, but my buddy has and he says there easy... so i would consider it a driveway project. Autometer has some pretty thorough pictorial intructions on their website, if you havent taken a look at them as of yet then may be that might be of some extra use... your not gonna break anything whilst trying to install umm... so IMO go ahead and try and if you cant then get them professionally done

Unless you spend major coin the a/f gauge will probably not be accurate
