Gauge recommendations

Hey all, I know theres a ton of posts on gauges, but I'm looking for something specific ..

1. What gauges have a black face, white lettering, and have the lettering itself backlit? (e.g. no 'ring' of light aroung the gauge). I think Diprocols have this, but their pyro has a really out of place looking larger black circle in the center. Looks sorta funny.

2. Where would I find dash mounted pods for a 96?

3. Do any pillar pods come pre color matched?

4. How do I find out the interior color name/code to find matching pods or paint?

I have the ISSPRO EV's, and they sound like what you might be looking for. I don't know about the pods, mine are A pillar. I took my old, stock, A pillar to an automotive paint store to match the color.
Do a search on "gages", and you will find more info then you can digest.

I also have the Isspro EV's with the red needle. They are a very close match to the OEM gauges and are back lit numbers and needle. Not like the old Isspro's or the Autometer gauges that have the ring lit stuff.

I have also gone with A pillar mounting. However I got interior paint from the dealer for the exact paint match. Its a small aerosol can and was pretty cheap, under $10.

As for Dash mount you can go with Propod or Autometer. I think there are other vendors like Bank$ and USGear that have them too.

The Di procols match up pretty well I sell my guage sets with propod pillar mounts and they come perfectly matched to your interior. Look into the propod they use the same material as dodge uses on dash. Good luck on your searching

Kyle,

Do you run an actual shop or sell from your residence?


Also, are the ISSPro gauges backlit?

I've got a couple pics of my Isspro EV's in my gallery. Not the best pics, but you'll get the idea.
The pillar pod I left black.....very difficult to even see the difference between the black pod and the factory "agate" color of the interior.
btw, I'm very happy with the Isspro's so far.....got it all from Rod @ Wildcat.

Good luck.
