Hey guys,
I've been shopping around for some gauges to throw in the Mustang. There's a company that makes a gauge pod to fit in the vent spot in the center stack, but the only size is 2-5/8". So I started looking for gauges and realized that all the nice looking ones are 2-1/16".
I was hoping I could find something that doesn't look like ass, with a subtle layout so they wouldn't be an eyesore in my black/blue interior. And I DON'T want an A-pillar pod.
I was thinking oil pressure, water temp, and volts, but I'm open to other suggestions as well.
ps: '91 5.0/5 speed, CAI + exhaust.

I want to be able to spend my retirement years driving my Buick at wide open throttle, at 45 mph, 'cause I shifted into L instead of D. But it's my own damn business and not the government's.

Delphi makes some nice ones that I believe are2-5/8" I would run oil pressure, fuel pressure and water temp. Volts who cares. I run the nexus gauges by autometer in the vents and they look slick. You gonna have the car out tonight?

All are brand new in boxes, never used to my knowledge. Id take $100 for all 3
I also have 5" Sport-comp tach (black face) 0-10,000 rpm with a yellow mini shift lite. $100 for that. The tach has been used.

Car's broke, axle started clunking yesterday. Gonna get an 8.8 from a friend when I go back to MI in May and then I'm gonna have Fritz take a bunch of stuff off my to-do list.
She'll be alive and kickin' (with 2.73 gears, unfortunately) by mid-May, I figure. Over the winter I hope to get it geared (3.55) and throw in a mildly built motor.-Patrick TSi
