Default Installed my new Pod Pillar Gauges

I got my new Autometer Cobalt gauges from Lowlyfe and the Aeroforce I finally got. All in blue no less! And the Cobalt gauges ROCK in their LED Blue. But man are they costly!!! The sender unit for the Oil Pressure gauge is going to run me $102 bucks alone and another $25 for the cable from the sender to the unit. So for now it reads 100psi

Wow, those look nice James! If I could keep the GS I would have liked to run those. All carbon fiber and red on my GTP though. Thanks again. Let me know if I can help with anything else.

Them are nice gauges for sure.

Are you going to change the rest of your dash lights and displays to blue now?

I would.

I like the Cobalt gauges, but I'm going with the Autometer C2 series since all my other gauges have silver faces.

Geddy, I thought Autometer gauges came with the senders? I'm planning on getting a short sweep electric (full sweeps are highway robbery!!) and it comes with the sender.

I am going out to the garage now to hopefully complete a big part of that.

They do, but these were "third hand" gauges and I dont think the past two people had the sender either. Cause the last person who removed them from the car they bought that had them in it, found it was not even hooked up to anything.

Its no biggie, I will buy one in the coming month or so. But I know now why full sweeps are so bloody expensive. But the Cobalt's Blue LED is to die for!

Silver, you gotta hook me up with your guy who did a lot of your LED setup in your car. I think it was yours that had the dash and other parts done in blue LED's correct?

bbengineer (owner and operator of BBEngineering) did it. He also did my cluster and my HVAC controls. Top notch work.

I did my own switches and such with the exception of what BBE did for me.
