Makes dual and triples gauge pods for our cars. Very goo dquality. Thanks to Wyatt for pointing me to these. I have one with Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Voltmeter from Autometer
http://www.autometer.com/
Since our cars don't come with one I definately recommend an oil pressure gauge, one of the best gauges to point out a problem before it gets bad. Since our coolant temp gauge isn't that detailed as far as what temp you are running you may want that. I went with oil temp since I did have at least some form of coolant temp gauge. A ammeter would be a better bet thaqn a voltmeter to point out electrical problems to come.
If you have any questions let me know.

An ammeter measures ampherage. Measuring this gives you a better read on what kind of draw your electrical system is creating. Your alternators and amplifiers for stereos are rated in amps.

ive got the autometer triple pod, also good quality, with the ultra-lite clock,air fuel, and water temp. plus a voltmeter in the center of my momo steering wheel and 2 5/8" Oil pressure and voltmeter in the dash holes for the tweeters. i just moved those two gauges to the holes in the center piece for my altezzas though and am painting the housing white. let the biting begin...

Now that's a set up I'd like to see. You should put a bumper sticker on with your cell phone number so the guy behind you can tell you what the readings are.

just push in the little pins on the back side of the lens while pulling the lens apart. i went ahead and broke a few of the pins cause i started getting pissed and you can just use headlight sealant to reseal them. they arent even airtight when new. i am gonna change the gauges to seomthing else i think, like a fuel level meter on the right so i can fill up the gas tank and watch how full the tank is while it fills up and maybe a 3" autometer tach so the honduh guy im crushing will see just how low i was revving while i kicked his no-torque-havin ass. nice huh?
