Default Gauge set ups

Been looking for a gauge set up. I want to install a A/F gauge and a boost gauge. I can't find any options for them anywhere, not even ebay.

Anyone running any kind of set up with dual pods? I know I am do the boost gauge in the vent, but I would prefer not to. I was hoping to find something paint matched too, which is Adobe.

AutoMeter sells a pillar pod with 1, 2, or 3 gauges with and without the tweeter also. As for a Boost Gauges, that's simple, just buy any mechanical boost gauge you like and install. For the A/F, make sure you get a WideBand A/F gauge. Innovate makes some of the best ones.

The pods are very easy to paint - I wouldn't pay someone to do it. Just buy the paint that is meant for plastic and matches your other trim - use several light coats, lightly sanding in between and it will turn out great. The texture on the pods make it very easy to make look good. I did one on my Superduty and it looked factory.
