Best matching gauge

Hey guys.....i'm thinking of adding a tranny temp gauge and possibly one more (haven't decided what yet) in an a-pillar mount to my 2007 F-150...

Here's the thing....its a lariat which has the kind of off white gauge face on the stock gauges....and i want them to match.....anyone know of a really close match for me?

I'm a big Autometer fan. Here are the 3 white Trans Temp gauges I found. Not sure if they're the right color though.


Autometer C2 Gauge
Auto Meter

Autometer NV
Auto Meter

Autometer Phantom II
Auto Meter







btw, I've got this puppy who needs a new home (hint hint). Would look good to mount that Trans Temp you want and something else like the Ford Racing Multi Gauge

How about adding a Gryphon then you can select what outputs, within reason, you want to display. Plus you get a nice boost in performance even if it's just the canned tune.

I've found the display very helpful on my 07. Was surprised just how hot my truck gets driving down the road with the snow plow on it, even when it's only 10 degrees out.

Just tossing out another option

I don't really need the tuner...i'm perfectly happy with the performance of the truck.....But....i'm absolutly picky about the gauges matching....why do all the companies have to make gauges that look ricer

Aftermarket Gauges?

Not trying to Hijack this.
I am looking at getting a couple of gauges for my ’04 SCREW and was wondering what you guys think would be the best as far as information. I am planning on autometer gauge pod #15312 (thanks to tylus) . I know I want to get the tranny temp gauge but not sure about the other one. I know about the programmers and such but at this point (budget) gauges are the way to go. My truck is typically a daily driver and occasionally pulls a horse trailer on the weekends about 50 miles round trip.
TIA.

You might want to go with an Oil Pressure gauge as a second choice. My second on the van is a vacuum gauge. It helps me get better MPG by giving me a visual reference as to how hard I'm getting on the money (gas) pedal. The '08 is getting a trans temp and a oil pressure gauge set.
