Default Autometer Guages

Which guages match the factory setup the most?

Looking at Autometer's site, to me it looks like the ES line and Sport Comp Digital are the most similiar?

Also, what is the approximate cost to get them installed? (probably trans temp, fuel pressure, and oil pressure)

ES Line

Sport Comp Digital

I'm open to other manufacturers as well.

Im not sure about which gauge will best match your factory style, but as far as installation goes dont waste your money on having it installed, its very easy. For example, a trans temp gauge can be set up to read from the pressure port on the side of the trans (although some say the temps tend to read higher this way) or mount the sensor in the pan itself, neither method is very hard to do. Fuel pressure is easy too, there are fitting that easily connect to the factory fuel rail. Same goes with oil pressure...

Thanks,

I'll look into doing it myself then.

i think any gauge with a black back and white leds should match nicely.
