Ok. I'm looking for a transmission temperature guage, and engine oil temperature guage for my 01 GT. It is an automatic(4r70w), and I was wondering what guages and matching a-pillar you guys recommend. Thanks.

The white face design are alright, but kinda ricey. I've got Mac white face guages now, but I need to change the position of some of the needles cause the fuggers messed them up on install.

Where can you get that kind of guage pillar pod, like the one in the picture above ? Also, what company and type of gauges do you recommend ? Thanks.

I just checked summit, and couldn't find the bezel. I found some Autometer gauges, but none that are black. Saw a nice carbon fiber one though.

I know you said the white face gauge look is ricey, but this is what mine look like. I got the NR auto el-glo gauges with the Phantom series gauges.

Im looking to get the bezel like Tom's got and put Oil and Fuel pressure as well. Problem is Im a perfectionist and the A-pillar gauges arent exactly the same shade as the NR gauges but theyre far enough apart to not notice. With the other gauges being right under the NR ones, you could tell more and that would bother me some.

CobraM23, where did you get all of that, and how much are we talking ? I seen Mustang tuning has some gauges, bearing in mind they're not autometer, but they do have 7 different levels of color adjustment.

I cant remember where I got them from exactly. I searched online forever getting the best price and they were like $10 cheaper than Summit for each gauge. I think roughly the total for everything was $75 for the gauges and around $50 for the A-pillar pod.
