i got the triple because it covers the entire pillar where the double does not.

I agree, same here. I'm also discovering that if you aren't just doing it to look cool, and actually have a NEED for a few extra gauges, I actually need 4 gauges, so i'm arguing with myself which one I'm going to short myself on, so it's definitely good that I at least get to do 3

Wait... you're discovering what again? You lost me.

On another note, who cares what other people think about how many gauges you have and where you have them. If you want them, get them.

haha, yeah looking back over it i worded that kinda messed up.

*IF you're not doing it too look cool, - which most people i've seen do it that's what they're after - and if you actually NEED the gauges, i have discovered that usually you wind up needing 3 anyway.

does that sound better?

i needed three. tranny temp (stalled auto), water temp (dummy stock sensor), and Afr (tuning). it all depends on what you need. that double looks good, but think about the future and if you may need a third you should go ahead and get the triple pillar.
