I bought my 3 gauge pillar post from summit along with oil pressure, outside air temp and voltmeter. Like 208 shipped for all.

Everything from summit racing. The triple gauge pod is part# atm-17305. Just pick any 2 1/16" gauges you like. Mine are intellitronix blue led gauges. They come with everything needed except the brass fittings to tap into oil and coolant on block.

Make sure you buy the AutoMeter pillar and not the lotec pillar. The AutoMeter fits much better.

For gauges I suggest a Aeroforce gauge, fuel pressure and oil pressure.

The closest match I found was the dupli-color vinyl and fabric paint part# hvp-111. The medium graphite summit sells it too light of gray.

Here are the three gauges I picked out what do you guys think? Also I couldnt find anywhere where it says these light up. Do they have a backlight for at night? Also how hard is it to wire these in?
