I just bought autometer c2 a/f and voltmeter gauges from ebay. The prices on the gauges are suprisingly similar b/w say ebay or a online store. I installed them today, those things are sweet. Pretty straight forward install too.

egauges.com has great deals on VDO, Autometer, and ISSPRO. I just got an ISSPRO voltmeter from them, but I'm still waiting on the pod. It's very nice looking and the numbers and needle light up instead of just side light.

You have to decide if you want gauges to monitor engine function, or if you just want gauges to look cool. If you just care about looks, then you don't even have to hook them up. Just mount them.

If you want them to monitor things, decide what you want to monitor. I've heard air/fuel gauges are pretty useless, although a ton of people have them. A voltmeter is pretty cool, and a lot of cars come with them stock.

If you have turbo or nitrous then you need gauges for those.

If you are NA and you want some gauges that are useful, I would recommend volt, vaccuum, and oil pressure.

Voltmeter is the easiest to install. Four electrical wires and you're done. Others may be harder to do.

Looking at your interior, the Isspro gauges probably match the best. Decide on what kind of light you want as well.

Autometer only has ring light (side) for the most part.
Faze has real indiglo
Isspro has stock backlight (numbers and needle light up only.

Your car doesn't need to be "fast" in order to monitor stuff. An oil pressure gauge on a 500hp car is just as useful as on your 127hp car, for example.

It's a bit harder to install than A/F, but I think you should get oil pressure. And if you want it for show, it will move ever time you step on the gas (at least the one on the Miata I was in did). A/F will have little lights that go back and forth all the time.

Well it's up to you anyway. Good luck.
