Looking for a new gadget -> your help appreciated

Im looking for a few nice guages. i was looking to hopefully get a stoic guage and oil temp and oil pressure guage. anyone know of some nice looking guages? Im not looking to spend hundreds per guage but still want something decent.

few questions as well while im at it, can you put a oil pressure and an oil temp guage on? i assume the most common place for oil temp is the drain plug hole but what about oil pressure? also the stioc guage id like is a sweeping bar, no needle.

thanks alot guys

This may be a different idea than you are looking for, but here's a single gauge that uses the OBD connector to provide multiple readouts:

Some of the displays look fairly "rice", but the ability to show multiple readouts without 15x gauge pods interested me. Plus you can build custom faceplates : )

good luck!

NICE CHRIS !! i really like the AEM oil temp guage and i found a Autometer sweeping Stoic guage last night. if you could PM me how you set up your oil temp-i think i remember it being in your drain plug.??

my only concern is finding a way to mount them, they are different size guages, i would be willing to get rid of my a/c vents on each side of the speedo but have no idea how/ if i can do this.
