Default What gauges?

I've alway liked the look of a-piller gauges. I want to put some in my car. The a-piller pod I want has 3 spots. I'm planing on 1st being air/fuel gauge, 2nd being trans temp,the 3rd one not sure, what do you guys think? I was thinking maybe voltmeter or something, but not sure yet.

I would put in a oil pressure gauge, & Amp Meter Gauge : )
Please take pic's and post when you decide & install.
WoW, you are doing a lot to your LTZ : )

Depends on the gages that are already in the car. If you don't have a voltmeter I would put one of those in.

[align=center]The 06/07 LT & LT3's don't have a volt meter, or oil pressure [X(]like the[/align][align=center]2000-2005 had : ). I love the gauge pkg in those years : )[/align][align=center][:-][/align][align=center]I was try'in to post pic's of each dash, but my puter is acting up : (
If you want to see, go to Road Test/Reviews on the forum Active list.
[/align][align=center][:-][/align][align=center]I think oil pressure gauge is a great way to keep track of the condition of your [/align][align=center]engine,plud a volt/amp meter lets you know how it's charging, or if there is a drain.[/align][align=center]If I had the funds, those are the gauge's I would install,[/align][align=center]but it's your ride, and your eyes....[/align][align=center]What manufacture's gauge's are you looking at ?[/align][align=center]What color lighting are you going to get ?[/align][align=center]Please take some pic's, & post when & if you install.[/align][align=center][:-][/align][align=center]Thanks, `Space : )[/align]

I was looking at Autometer Ultra-Lite and Autometer C2. The C2 has a pretty kick *** led blue glow to them, but the Ultra-Lite are cheaper and have that race look to them

The differance between the 2 is about $50.00, the c2 has a blue glow to them. Something like this

`Steven,
I like them all : )
Thanks for taking the time to post pic's : )
(I love pic's : )
Are you going to do the install yourself ?, or have it done ?
Either choice would look great.
Have you decided on what wheel upgrade you are going with ?
Good Luck, I look forward to seeing what you do : )
I'll just keep dreaming of all the things I want to do to my Monte : )
One of these days, when gas $drops,& $insurance, $ &car payments : )
Peace/Happiness,
`Space

Probably me and my buddies put them in. I have a buddy that isa GM mechanic and I know the dealer can install these, might check out the price for them to do it. I like the Speedster rims, have to save some money up for those, the gauges I can get now. By the way the exhaust should be done soon. Got my tracking number, my tips well be in on the 27th so hopefully on my next weekend. Well get a video clip up asap. I already have blue headlights and foglights. Then it well probably be, tintthe back 3 windows, thenfront and rear strut tower braces, then gauges, then maybe try to fab up the 5.3L K&N intake for mine, then the rims. I like to have my own touch on my cars, lol. Which gauges do you like better? Just wondering
