Those cobalt gauges are clean. I like the 3gauge pillars, so that gets my vote. I remember when my homeboy boosted his car , he bought some gauges called Defi? I guess those were hella expensive too. Looked similar to cobalts though, black face with blue light up. If ihad the extra cash, I'm gonna spend for cobalts. THey look really nice to me.

Maybe you should try a different host. Photobucket.com is a good one.

Here are a couple of pictures of mine. I've "paused" at three so far. I have
plans for at least 2 more.

Oh yea, and by the way.... the last time I got stopped, the officer said
"Wow, that's cool. Did it come with those gauges?" I just laughed and
handed him my license. He let me off with a warning for 84 in a 60.

Blue Color Scheme



Red Color Scheme



Warning indication



The gauges are Nexus Series Trans Temp and Fuel Pressure
AEM Wideband at the bottom.

I generally run the Red at night, White during the day. The Blue is for the
Camaro guys.

I plan to add an E-Boost2 and a Nexus Boost Gauge.


...I tried several times to resize and it kept screwing up....

ssmokin, your pics show now. Looks great. Hey sixspeed, how much did those nexus gauges run you? I'm sure they are expensive.

I like them, I think a lot of them are used mainly for looks but they're cool.

Nah, triple pillar guages with logo free Summit Gauges and night time dimmer wiring.

If you have three gauges then you get the triple pod, not to mention the F-Body NEEDS three gauges even if you don't run nitrous or boost.

Water temperature, transmission temperature, and a third empty one that tells you to get off your *** and either get blown or get bottle fed.

I went with the Autometer 3 gauge pillar w/ Phanton series gauges. I did mechanical A/F ratio, Vaccuum, and Oil Press. I don't have boost or juice so those seemed like the basic ones to do. I just love how the pillar looks. I'm thinking about doing water temp. and trans. temp on the dash eventually.

My setup came to around $210 I believe total.
