Nitrous Pressure and Air to fuel. Pointless to have Air to fuel unless it's connected wideband.

Where do you guys get the full 3 pod replacement pillar at? I bought a dual one to mold and wrap on my pillar but it'd be 100x easier to get the pillar replacement.

It doesn't replace the stock pillar. It lays over the top & you have to either cut holes in the stock one or be VERY sneak about runnin the wires between the two to keep them smashed together. Then attach them together with the supplied push pins.

I cut holes behind each gauge to run my wires down & out the bottom.

Does Autometer make silver faced gauges with a polished aluminum ring? I know they have the silver face and the silver plastic ring, but how about the aluminum more shiny ring?

Im in the process of replacing my gauges, but cannot seem to find just that and thats what Im looking for. I have searched on autometers site, but to no success.

If anyone can let me know what series these would be, that would be greatly appreciated.

TIA!
