Ask and you shall recieve. These are the Z-series autometer gauges in the pic....I have since put in a set of autometer Ultra-lights with led bulbs.

If you're looking for triple, do a search for "Pro Pods".

I have been wanting to get gauges too. I wanted to get a tranny temp, oil pressure, and then some other one. Does anybody know where i can get good gauges for a decent price, some of the places i looked are crazy on prices.

It comes black.....I'm going to paint it a semi-gloss black to match the bezel colors in my truck. I used Krylon Fusion for my bezels with great results, the prep is the most important. Use an alcohol pad to to romove any type of grease, prime it with a wet sand, paint in small passes until you get good coverage, and finish with a mild rubbing compound to get rid of any orange peels. Optional is to wet sand again the dryed paint and spray a couple of coats of clear coat.

i knew there was one i forgot. yes i have thought about it but i do have to admit, once you've seen an air/fuel ratio gauge, it looks pretty nice with the bar bouncing back and forth with the push of the pedal, haha.
