Hey!
I am now looking for some gauges to my car. I was thinking about voltmeter(since I got a big stereo), oil pressure and air\fuel meter. Is this good, or do you suggest to change som of them? And I really do not know of any types of gauges. Do you guys buy them on ebay? I want some with black tinted glass, and white color. Preferable I can change color. Do you have som suggestions?  Thanks in advance!

Forget the Air/Fuel gauge unless it's a wide band. The typical $100 narrow band gauges are nothing but a light show, offer zero viable feedback. I can understand the volt meter (though all it's going to show is alternator voltage output) and agree with the Oil Pressure gauge.
How much are you looking to spend?? Any tinted glass color changing gauge is going to be $$$. I run AutoMeter Nexus gauges and right now with the controller, Oil Pressure, Oil Temp, and Boost/Vac I've got about $800 in the setup and still need to get a $350 wide band gauge for it. Defi gauges are similarily priced. --------------------  |

Okay! Thanks!
So, is there some better voltage gauges which measures the battery better? I dont want to spend a lot of money on this. The gauge pod will cost around $50, so around 100 more for the gauges? (Without the AFM). I found these GlowShift gauges: http://cgi.ebay.com/52mm-ELITE-7-COLOR-VOL...93%3A1|294%3A30 Are these good stuff?
