I went with the Sport Comp 2's. I like the black button on the needle , matches nicely to factory ones. Placed EGT, oil press, and -30+30 boost in radio spot using the Autometer 3 gauge panel. Radio is now down below.

If you want to change color on the bulbs, be aware the SC 2's do not have a replaceable LED, no way to change it or cover it. I went with the Trustz dash overlays for the factory dash gauges, looks factory, except white letters. I also used an LED dimmer from Autometer on their gauges, so everything matches well. I hated being unable to see the dim red lights of the factory dash, the white is easier. I do have the dimmers turned down so as to not be blinded by the light

I plan on putting a 3 gauge pillar with tweeter cutout from Lancershop in my MR, along with oil temp, watertemp, and Innovate needle type gauge for my LC-1 wideband. So pretty much full instrumentation. Lighting on the pillar will match the AM gauges and be dimmed from the same dimmer.

PM me with email addy for pics

I have that same gauage pod, and i don't like it. You cannot see the gas gauge and some of the rpm gauge. I am going to get rid of it and do the center console gauges.

The only things you can't see as seen in the picture are the gas gauge, and from about 140mph up which I don't go up very often so I like it!

Ive got the same gauge pod. My only complaint is not being able to see above 120mph or so. I guess it depends how high your column sits. Im 6'6" so mines all the way up. I dont have so much of a problem with the gas guage. But I have gotten really close to running it out. Usually my passenger will give me the heads up. I think its still better than the pillar mount. Ive got the SC 1s (boost and oil press). And I plan to fiberglass the radio bezel for (3) 2 1/16" guages (water temp, oil press, oil temp; with WB and boost on the column; and the stock MR voltmeter in the "Lancer" gauge)

Looks awesome. So this replaces the steering column? No drilling?

no you have to place it over the OEM one. I did some drilling on mine to make it a perfect fit

I just used 3m double sided tape and put mine over the stock steering wheel cover. I did drill a hole through the stock one though to run the lines.
