Well I sent them an email. If you have contacts there? Maybe you can throw in a good word? I know their site only appears to do Chevy type vehicles, but maybe they will open up their doors the Pontiac side of life as well

Thanks for the link Sir!

It's only run by one guy, and he is pretty open minded. I don't see where he'd have any problems doing it seeing how he knows more about our electrical systems than GM does.

He's also one of the two owners of the NAIOA, so he might see about keeping good relations.

Well I got an email from yesterday afternoon. He said with our GP's we do not need to do the customizing like you Chevy owners have to go through. He said you can simply slap in LEDs inplace of the current 194's already in the dash gauge. He did say he would like to look at a couple of our AC controllers to see what needs to be done to make them work. But I dont have an extra one at the moment.

I guess I will be hitting Ed Morad to see if he has one or two laying about

The only problem I have is the fact that there is a red film between the gauges to give it red glow. And somehow mixing a blue with red combo wont be the most eye pleasing. I guess I gotta find an old dash gauge and tear it down to see whats inside of it.

Honestly I could not really tell you why. I could have put it at the top I suppose, but I liked difference split of the two Cobalts. The boost gauge could not go anywhere else due to the length of the copper tubing, so that one is kinda permanent. The other two just wound up that way and I liked it

That's good that BBE is willing to look at it. Also great for your guys that you can just slap in bulbs.

For the red and blue issue, I think the red will be overpowering. I had to do the opposite on my old set up. I had white LEDs behind everything except the tach (and it glowed blue so you can tell how much blue tint the factory overlay is). I had red LEDs put behind the tach and it still glowed pretty red:

I like that well enough that's how I'm going to mount my gauges. Top to bottom - Pro Sport (green/white) IC temp>>Aeroforce>> Prosport (green/white) Fuel Pressure.
