I wanted to see how they look in our cars. I just got an RB boost guage and it looks like it will match the orange stock stuff really nice.

Yeah I like it cept for the needle. I think a black round part(on the needle) like the stock guages would make it blend in even more.

Cool. Where on RB's website do they show that? If your going for the factory look you can get some VDO gauges...inexpensive and the lighthing's very close to the dash color:

That thing is not a guage. Its the manual boost controller that RB used to sell. It mounts under the steering wheel. The boost controler has that guage which is useless I think. You can see it only during the day and its not very accurate. You can not see it during the night because there is no light in it. One of my friends has it on his 87 TII.

And this is my secondary boost guage. So I can run them back to back and compare the accuracy.
