what gauges?

So.. My car doesn't even have a temp gauge and that kinda bothers me. I was thinking of getting a pillar pod but not feeling it that much so I found an awesome OEM looking cluster bezel with two 52mm gauge slots. Looks awesome! I want to know what kind (brand) gauges you guys think and what else I should get besides water temp? Has anybody uses prosport? I like how they go from white to red when you turn your lights on.

I think the Prosport gauges will match the best and be the most cost effective. I have been eyeing a similar set-up with water temp and a voltage. I just haven't pulled the trigger yet, but I think I should soon.




EDIT:
Just ordered the pod since there are only a few left.

AFR might be cool or even EGT.

its really up to the OP. But its always good to know the oil pressure even on a NA. Water temp is good to know also.

Because my car doesn't even come with a water temp gauge and if I'm going to have one, I guess I'll put two. Maybe even three. Has anyone seen any perfect color matching 3 pillar pods?
