Pillar Pod & Gauges
I need some input about installing an A-Pillar Gauge-Pod. Was just wondering what you guys and gals are recommending in putting in a 3 pod mount. I have the V10 engine in my X, so boost and other diesel gauges would not apply...
Any ideas or suggestions?... Thanks a lot!

Oh.... almost forgot... any idea about gauge brands? I don't wanna go crazy on them, but they should match with the rest of the interior... (maybe even match the green/red illumination from the OE dash?

These people seem to have what you are looking for. If not give them a call and I'm sure they can set you up with what you need...

I also have the V10 and I've been thinking of adding one gauge. I know that the gauges in the OEM dash are no great shakes. But they provide enough trend info for my needs. But because I pull a heavy trailer in hilly terrain, I'm thinking of adding a tranny temp gauge. So I'm also interested in the feedback.

I have a V10 and used the triple pod. I got the pod here from one of the advertisers, color matched to the interior. The gauges I used were AutoMeter Z-Series, I picked up off Ebay. I went with oil temp, water temp, and trans temp. It took me longer to wire and soder the gauges while in the pod and make all the connections clean than it did to install the senders. I used 4-flat trailer wire to the sending units, for a clean look.
