I got the 60mm gauges and they look fine with the 60mm Gruppe-S panel. It matches great with all of the HVAC controls being right below. Everything is circular and symmetrical!

52mm is more common but 60mm looks normal to me

Sorry for the blurriness, stupid blackberry camera, but should give you a general idea of it, although the pics above this post are a ton of a lot better haha.

Whatever you do, DO NOT BUY THE LANCERSHOP.COM pillar. It is a total worthless piece of crap. They say it is a direct replacement, but it is not, I repeat, it is NOT a direct replacement. It fits over the factory pillar, and not very well. I had to hack the crap out of may factory pillar cover and use some pretty questionable methods to make it work. It looks good enough, but not perfect. I'll try to get some pics later.

Never really seen anyone run those. I doubt they can be integrated with any Evo software as of now for logging.

Prosport widebands are junk like the others above stated. They are narrowband and completely useless for tuning, only good if you enjoy a constant light show.

Correct. That was my answer originally as well until I checked the website and saw they actually do sell wideband gauges now:

http://prosportgauges.com/wideband_AFR_Gauge.aspx

Looks like they sell the narrowband AFR gauges and wideband ones too. I still would not get their wideband.

^ Why not? Looks like it uses the same Bosch Sensor everyone else uses.

I'm not saying they are inaccurate. Just I doubt you will be able to connect the gauge to laptop and use some kind of a data logging software to capture the readings.

I'll just stick with my GlowShift gauges for now....


Thanks!
I'd just get a boost and wideband IMO only ones you need...

I thought the same thing when I had my DSM and I had all the oil run out and didn't see the pressure dropping so by the time the oil light came on on the gauge panel it was already too late for the motor, then it happened a second time and I had the gauge and I saved the motor. Needless to say that was the last of that car

I agree...I'll be sure to get the Oil Pressure Gauge.
