So we're doing the 3S-GTE swap and obviously need to install some gauges and mess with the interior. We know the following:

Triple Pillar Pod in black with the following gauges:
Boost
Fuel Pressure
Oil Pressure

What we're thinking is going with the Auto Meter Cobalt series gauges, as she (wife) and I both like how they look and illuminate. Now....

As for the main gauge cluster. We're thinking one of the following; Either the Black reverse gauges on eBay ( LINK ) or the speedhut gauges in black face with cobalt lighting at night with some kind of custom logo.

Down the line when we do a larger turbo and more engine work we'll add a Wide Band O2 and Pyrometer gauge and address that as necessary.

And the also in the interior my wife wants to do a full aluminum trim kit.

What do you all think? This is on a two tone tan leather/black interior on a red 99 GT.

The triple gauge idea is good smile.gif
For the guage cluster try to match the colour with the guages
so it doesnt look off.
I'm not feeling the aluminium kit.
I rather leave it stock.

gauges=PCP black gauge faces with the blue lighting, and a CF bezel
triple pod=match as close to PCP stuff
interior=i dont reccomend painting the interior the same color as the car. rarely does that turn out perfect loking. however if its black paint some trim pieces GLOSSY black or maybe CF overlays. good things have not been heard about the aluminum

Well, we've made the decision on the gauges: Going with Autometer Nexus series. I want to give them a trial run in the Celi as they're the ones I want to go into my 93 T/A that's being built right now too. My wife really likes them also, so we figured why not drop the cash.
