Post Boost gauge and AFM

I'm in the market for a boost gauge and AFM. Recommendations? I've been looking at the autometer gauges at overboost.com, prices seem reasonable.

I have a 63mm Autometer Sport Comp boost gauge (shows bar) mounted on the a-pillar and a 52mm Autometer Sport Comp AF gauge mounted on a panel below the stereo.
It both looks and works very nice!

When fitting the boost guage:


When hooking up the connections.....:

Bones944, keep shopping, overboost.com sell the guages more expensive then other's.

I like Autometer guages because they are good value,work great and look good.
Some peoples like VDO guages, but personnally,i think they look to simple and old fasion.But they do work great.

For the A/F guages i went to
<a href="http://gadgetseller.com/gauges/" target="_blank">http://gadgetseller.com/gauges/</a> for a modified a/f guages that does not bounce around for nothing durring normal driving but work only on WOT. I got my calibrated to work from .75v to .95V. I should of gotten a .70v to .90v, it would of bin even better.
Here's are my carbon fibre series guages

Whose gauge panel are you using?

And, fiberworks sells a nice kit to fix the glove box door!

I maid it myself using 1/8" thick aluminium and a 2" hole saw. I also powder coated it mate black.

Thanks for the advice on the glove box,i will look into it.
