Default YAY! I got my new gauges in...

...a few cuts, bumps, bruises and a broken fingernail, but it was all well worth it. (that'll teach me to remember to wear gloves the next time)
I also included one of her at the park after being bathed.
Not the greatest pics, but I think they'll do to show. (I hope they're not too big)
What do y'all think?

Cool steering wheel cover.

Gauges look good, I need to get around to installing a oil temp gauge, but cant decide on what else to compliment it.

Why yes they are. I was looking to get some wheels that were affordable and not that everyone else had. Thank you.

Looks like the steering wheel cover is to match the flames on the outside of the car

They are the AeroForce Tech Interceptor Scan gauge and Auto Meter D-Pic gauge.
Of course I like the wheels and the steering wheel cover was suppose to be temporary. But then I got used to the rubber feel and good grip. I wanted to get the leather Katzkin covers with red as the accent color, but it just feels too slick. You're right, to each their own. I feel the same way about people who hack on other peoples' rides. If we all liked the same, we wouldn't be on this board.

Thank you for the compliments and constructive criticism.
I've learned a lot from the boards and my old Grand Prix Club.

those look pretty good, too bad I dont have an obd2 or else i might get one, it just seems cool to be able to have all of that info at your disposal. I have a triple pillar pod but cant figure what other gauges to put in it, right now i have a/f gauge, which did in fact come in handy, when my car was spuddering and no voltage was going to the meter i knew the o2 was out. good stuff. any ideas on the other 2? i was gonna run nitrous press. and fuel press. but am not sure when i'll be able to get the nitrous kit and dont want to look like a flamer with gauges and nothing to back them up. oh and sorry this is kinda off topic
