I've been loking at guages for quite a while and seem to never come up with anything that matches the cluster lights does anyone know of one that does? and problem no. 2 where the hell to put it i hate pillar pods anr dash pods as well but theres no room on the steering wheel column (considering most gauge are 2" diameter. I've seen vent mounts and they look sweet but i actually use that vent is there a mount for the vent that stll allows vent use? or just a nice gauge thats smaller i can mount on the steering column?

Pro-sport Premiums do.

Code:

for the record, the prosport premiums are also 2" diameter, but they seem to work pretty well and the colors match up pretty darn close to our instrument panel. i was on the verge of doing an impulse buy last nite, but seeing you post thankfully knocked some sense into me and has me doing more research to be sure i'm not ordering stuff on a whim...^^;
 
my autometer works perfect and fits perfectly on the right hand side of the center part of the steering collum it only blocks the seatbelt light.
 
Theres 52MM and 60MM gauges offered by just about every gauge company out there. The difference is, Autometer will charge you more and their gauges have a high fail rate.

As far as where to put them, i would search this topic as there are at least 18 threads alone in the last 90 days. Plenty of pod options posted in those threads.
 
i'm actually planning to put mine right on the dash to the left of the instrument panel. i don't feel like having it blocking something in the instrument panel, so the steering column is off limits, and i don't want it knocked off the a-pillar if my SRS deploys, so that leaves the dash! i already put my Nuvi on the right side of the instrument panel, so that leaves the left side...^^;
 
sweet deal sounds and looks like the prosport premium will be the choice but just gotta find a spot no one knows of a vent mount?
 
ill post a picture of my mount choice its good and it looks really nice without blocking anything..u can use the mount it comes with
 
I'm looking for a boost gauge too; and I'm looking into a custom mount. Not sure, but I was thinking about no kidding making one from scratch and putting it somewhere.... need to think about it for a few more days before whipping on this project though.

I'm digging those gauges linked above.... However, anyone using the AEM boost gauge? The one for like 2xx.xx dollars? It's supposed to be a boost controller/gauge in one package. What are the pros/cons about this in your opinion? Thanks in advance.
