on that one... I still had to order my drill bit and tap from clay, make my own wiring harness and chase down a can of SEM color match paint (3 cities and 4 hours of driving around).

The Autometer Z's are great quality gauges with a decent similarity to the stock gauges, just a matter of if they are the look you want or not. I've been running them for 160,000 miles.

They don't have (or require) an amplifier module, which is a plus IMO.

Anybody ever use the PLX multi gauges?
PLX Devices Inc. - Multi Gauges, Single Gauges, Sensor Modules, Wideband Air Fuel Ratio, Data Logging, Fuel Saving / Scan Tools
I was thinking of starting with one DM-200 and a 3 A-Pillar stack, get all the sensors and hook them up to the multi-gauge. Then expand get another DM-200 and also a DM-200 ODB over a couple months, keeps the wife happy I don't drop a huge chunk of change on the truck.

Just curious how the PLX DM gauges hold up, baking in the sun for a few years.
