Oil pressure gauge question

I'm going to purchase an aftermarket oil pressure gauge for my 03. Should I get a gauge that goes to 80 psi or 100 psi? Also, who makes a pillar pod colored to match the interior?

My pillar was black when I got it. Took it to a local automotive paint store, took out my fuse panel (for color match) and they made me up a spray can that matched perfect. Cost me 11.95 and still have over half a can left if I ever need to touch up something.

My Autometer gauge is a 0 - 100psi but I don't think you'd see oil pressure over 80 even in a cold morning start situation. Some places offer pre-painted pods to match your interior color but I'd be afraid it might get scratched up 'till I did the install - I actually left my a-pillar mount black just to avoid the scratch issue.
