tranny temp gauge is the number one needed if you have an auto, and unless you race it others are kinda pointless, i'd show you a pic of my gauge pod but unless you got a roll cage it won't work for ya

Here is how i ran mine. I placed all of the gauges I wanted on a piece of flat stock. counter sunk all of the bolts to where it remained flat, screwed that into the dash. They are wired to constant power(they dont drain the battery at all) they are wired to turn on and dim with the factory dash lights, and i have 2 mechanical(temp and oil pressure) and 1 electric (voltage). The Tac is on the A-pillar.

you can barely see the wiring loom when seated. It blends in rather well
