www.crativecompacts.com has a 3-gauge A-pillar pod that looks really nice. Matches the headliner color almost perfectly.

I know it's not the best pic but I painted a plastic universal dual-gauge pod and mounted it on the dash...

I tend to avoid universal pods, but that actually looks very nice!

Thanks guys. I hate universal pods myself but I had two new ones lying in a box in my basement. I sprayed one a blue that I thought would match and placed it on top of the dash. Liked it so much I drilled holes and that's how it sits today. Got a Stewar Warner boost/vac gauge with a blue LED light kit, and an AEM wideband. Works out well and it's very easy to see.

Do the wideband A/F gauges replace the stock ones and work with the ECU? Or are they in additional ports on the pipe and just go to the gauge?

Additional.. if you replaced the O2 with the AEM WB your ECU will have a fit.

You need an additional bung welded to your downpipe or spipe.
