Aftermarket Gauges.?

[raj]

just a quicky as i know one tends to be a cheap brand.. but which one is the cheap brand.? is it auto meter OR auto gauge.?

im thinking if buying a set of auto meter ones but will stay away if there not so good. any ideas.?

[5alldaway]

i always thought the auto gauge ones looked cheap, i have one on my car and the colours have faded over time

i go for the race tech ones, they look smarter

[raj]

ok so i plan on getting

1x coolant temp gauge.
1x boost gauge
1x afr gauge/sensor.

now im not really keen on chopping holes in the dash but will do if needs be.

can folks show me where they mount there gauges.?

i think the only place i can think of without too much cutting is house all 3 gauges in the centre heater vents section.? are these vents easily removed.? and is there enough clearence behind them to house the gauges.?
im wanting the setup to look kind of OE if you get me.?

just on the gauge not sure if this is of any use but I bought some gauges from mcgill motorsports (http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/McGill-Motorsports_Gauges-Water-Oil-Revs-etc_W0QQ_fsubZ13114021QQ_sidZ222097034QQ_trksidZp4 634Q2ec0Q2em14?_pgn=2) and they were okay less than £20 each in fact I bought an oil pressure and water temp for £25 on an offer they had..

..admittedly I had to use some ptfe tape to seal the thread but they're quite nice looking.. don't get me wrong they're not "stack" products but they work
