aftermarket gauges (boost, fuel pressure, iac temp) what brand won't look lame...

[expo5.0]

I'm going to be putting these in the location where the center dash vent used to be in order to be as stealthy as possible (the rest of my dash is taken up with other goodies already).

what brand gauges/style will actually look ok in our vehicles? it seems somehow wrong to just toss in some white faced autometers, you know?

Hey Drew, its Frank, 99C280sport from club202.

When I had my 300D I had a nice VDO boost gauge. I would go with VDO because the stock gauges are VDO, might be able to find something that looks close. If not VDO gauges are still classy looking.

i'm really hoping that trim gets here before thanksgiving-

we've got a big meet up here the next day (50+ euro cars)

Hi everyone. I bought an '04 CLK55 AMG a couple of months ago. My other car is a Porsche Boxster and while it is amazing on the track you can imagine my thrill the first time I drove this fire breathing monster. I just got a HPS supercharger that I plan on putting on sometime over the winter. I am also interested in adding some gauges especially a boost gauge. I checked out the VDO gauges (thanks LTrain) and they look like they will match up beautifully with the stock AMG gauges. I don't think I can bear to pull out the alcantera pillars. Does anyone have pics of their gauge placement? I love my new AMG and don't want to ruin the interior.

Yeah, I sent you a PM on club202 - I didn't get the trim in today, though it would have been here by now. Hopefully it comes on Friday.
