a gauge pod? or a gauge?

a gauge pod is the plastic piece that holds gauges .... you can have a pillar gauge pod for the top-left pillar on the inside of your door, or you can get a gauge pod for on top of your dash (will require some trimming to fit)

theres some work involved and u have some reaserch to do. search and ull turn up some info about it. the guages them selves will tell ya how to install them and the pod will be a little custom.

but i will tell ya, the only thing ull get out of it is a look and, if u get the right guages, can moniter engine functions but on these cars u really dont need to. its not cheap too.

You're talking about spending a minimum of $200-300 dollars. I have them in my car because I need them. You on the other hand, do not. I'd have to recommend against it. There's no point in spending that much money to "look cool" when there are so many other things you could spend it on.
