Here ya go - they're also in 'appearance' thread and there's a lights off pic as well. I'm really happy with the results.
Under the kick panel near the dead pedal you want to tap an orange wire with a yellow line, and recurring double silver dots. That's an ignition power wire.
Trickiest part of the install was getting the a-pillar off and on, there's a plunger clip at the top that pops out, and is 'in place' pushed in. When you take the pillar cover off it's fine, it pulls it out, but when you put it back on you have to slide the head of that plunger clip/post into this just-as-big-as-the-head slit under the top of the plastic cover. The plunger keeps getting pushed in very easily so you have to get needlenose and pop the ****** back out again. Then start all over - Rotus helped me immensely in the instructional area, as far as how to take stuff apart and such. His tips, however, as far as, "Stand outside the car and look down into your window while you clip the plunger's head into the plastic cover," would work FANTASTIC had I not had about an 8" strip of limo tint atop my front window, effectively making light's journey into my required area impossible. So I did it blindly, and it sucked - but you get the 'hang' of it, believe it or not. Overall, personally, I'm much happier with this install than if I'd had it atop the steering column, beside it as I've seen one person do, or above my stereo on the dash. Also, it's low enough that I'm not interfering with the airbags at all - you'll see them in there just to about halfway down if you pop the a-pillar cover off. If anyone wants to do this and wants info/tips, give me a holler/pm. You can get single pillar pods at:
*************.com - I talked to Rob there, he's a good guy, they're fast, but not so much about the 'communication'
glowshiftdirect.com - the order from crossover came in a box from glowshift, with a sticker, so I know it's a glowshift part
Glowshift is cheaper, but I had a good experience with crossover, so if you order, you know crossover is 'vouched' for - can't say the same myself for glowshift. Good luck, happy trails!
What kinda gauge is that? I love that it matches. Very nice mod dude. I want to do the three in the center and if i could find Oil temp/boost/and AFR that was in red i would be a very happy camper.
It's a Prosport "52mm Amber Performance Gauge". I got electrical over mechanical because I didn't want to run more tubing through my firewall - not lauding one or the other here gauge flamers - I just wanted to run one sender wire through the wall instead of a sender wire and a vacuum tube. You can find the amber selection here:

They have all the gauges you mentioned, just have to find a triple pod now, I know crossover has triple gauge a-pillar pods, and double - somebody has the dash top b/c I've seen them.
As to what color gray I used to paint my pod. After painting it with a Testors spray can of white primer, I then used:
Tamiya Color For Aircraft: AS-2 Light Gray (IJN)
It's in a 100ml net volume can with two star stencils on the front in red and blue. Check this out, hehe:

That's the exact can, if you could see the code at the top you'd see 'AS-2', here's where I linked it from:
