runt Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Found THIS on eBay. Actually, I have seen them a few times. I don't like the gauges that light up fully like 97Loudcut is selling (used to be Jeremy's I think). I have a Carbon Fiber bezel that I'm going to be putting around it if I were to get it. Otherwise I'm thinking I'm gonna just get a white face with red letters. Anyway...what do you guys think? Would a blue like this match with the rest of the interior being red? I'd LOVE to make everything in the car blue, but I don't think that'll ever happen. I guess I'm looking for a "yay" or "nay" on this one...

slick Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Meh... I've never been a fan of guage overlays or anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Meh... I've never been a fan of guage overlays or anything like that. i mostly agree. sometimes they can look good, but i think its better when just the circles are white or whatever (which the bezel helps). I say swap in a UB3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say swap in a UB3! Unless they started making UB3 for 97 and up..... Naw, I dunno. I might just tear open my stock cluster and throw in the bezel I have. I know when it comes down to it, I'll never put gauges in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryk2003 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 i say don't do it...the overlay i put on my cutlass was the biggest POS ever!...fucking needles kept sticking...i had to fix it about 2 times a year...winter & summer...it's just a pain in the ass and not worth the bother...a bezel would look nice around your stock gauges though!

Yeah, it HAS to work like stock or better for me to be happy with anything I do to the car. I don't half ass it. And really, even if I do White/Red the rest of the car isn't White so it wouldn't match. I think I might do the interior in carbon fiber though...

Schudini Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 It needs a voltmeter and an oil pressure gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_97_ls Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 hmm. That might look alright. CF trim or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I have seen those in a brushed aluminum that *might* look ok. But on your dash, the blue would bother me to no end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runt Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Alright. See, this is why I post this shit here. That way I don't jump on something when I know I really don't want it, but something inside is like "SPEND MONEY, but not too much" I think I'm gonna tear down the dash, put the carbon fiber bezel in and then order some more stuff for inside. WHy not. I might also see how hard it is to re-wire for the upgraded DIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryk2003 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 i say throw a pillar pod in there with a couple more gauges...or maybe add the heated seat feature to the passenger side! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't gots leather, so that might start a fire. No, I'm not adding leather either. I'd love to throw a pillar pod in there, but I don't really have the "know-how" to hook them up properly.

runt Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Ok, so what type of gauges would you hook up in the car then? Mind you I have GT, so I don't need boost. Probably Voltmeter for sure...unsure what else. And, where did you get your pod? Pretty easy install for the pod itself? Boy I'm just full of questions.

OIL PSI, TRANS TEMP, VOLTS...the pod came from PFYC.com ...my pod is a POS, IMO...but, the pod for your car should be much better...remember, i have the 03 and it takes a special pod for that year the fits over the stock pod...the pod for your car is a whole new pillar trim piece...so you just take yours off, and put the new pod on...the only real work required is drilling a couple small holes in the pillar to mount it...just be careful when u do that and don't drill all the way through to the outside...lol...

runt Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Ok. Found the POD. Not bad really, only $45. I can deal with that. Too bad like $40 for each gauge. I'm gonna keep this in mind for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
