so looks like i will just get the cheapo ones, i mean i know my cars A/F ratio is good since my tuner did a great job and i have brand new bosch sensors in. i just want something to look at lol, but want the tranny temp and oil temp to really work.
check jegs
i got my wideband for 260
its worth it if you plan on doing anything like nitrous or boost....
here is a pic of mine
o yea, you can change the face out to either black or white and the ring comes off the gauge so you could techincally paint it any color fairly easy.

yeah i was planning on painting the rings Glossy Black to match the radio bezel and other trim pieces. Well since the A/F gauge isnt a good idea unless i go with the wideband one, what other gauge would you recommend?? Tranny Temp, Oil Temp, and possibly Fuel Pressure???? i dont want any gauges that i have to buy a bunch of stuff to make them work.

I used it for tuning my turbo car, when I recieved it the printing (letters) had a fault in the font, I contacted autometer and they replaced it. a good co. to deal with.
alot of people here will tell you this meter is useless and is just a light show
what this meter is good for is WOT metering, it will also tell you if the PCM is dumping fuel motor going into protect mode (like when something electrical is shorting)
if you ever plan a radical cam and extensively modded car (boosted) I still use this guage (for ball park #s) enstead of a expensive wideband wide band
put that money toward HP tuners for more accurate readings.
Hope this helps
also expect the red guages to light up at half the color density as you're dash I'm thinking of using 2 condoms to make the red darker.
I have sold stuff here in past.
