Wideband Pics in A-pillar Mount
Just as the title says, I'm looking for some pics of anyone that has their wideband mounted in the A pillar. I can't decide between the AEM and the Innovate gauges. I want them to match the factory bezel or at least come close. The AEM says that if comes in gray and the Innovate comes in chrome, but most people say that you don’t notice the difference. I would like to see for myself. I have the Auto Meter boost gauge and AFR gauge (replacing with wideband) that match perfect. Any pics would be helpful, and BELIEVE ME I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING SINCE THIS MORNING!!

I edited the thread title for you...
You should check out the PLX Devices wideband instead....go with the M-250 with gauge option. The gauge looks pretty tasteful to me, and I HATE gaudy.

I will look at these gauges and compare them.

Click the 'defi' link in my sig. I think that the center speaker area is a better mounting point for a wideband----I can actually watch my AFRs out of the corner of my eye while I am WOT. Try that with an A-pillar gauge

It actually will read below 11 AFR on the digital display, something that was not clear in the instructions. When I first installed it I found that my engine went very lean (12.6) under 11 lbs boost at 7000+. I doubted the AEM but, then again, now I got it tuned OK to low 11s and the first readings were the likely cause why I lost my engine in the car the first place. Good investement!

I don't really like a lot of gauges in a car and there is no way that I could look at all those gauges while I'm driving. I'm doing good to keep my eye on the boost gauge some times. I also don't want to remove any of my factory interior comforts (the Bose system being one of them). The more gauges you have the more people think that you have something besides a stock car. I want them to find that out after we stop, not before we start.

Still Looking For Innovate Pic
Does anyone have a pic of the Innovate gauge installed in his or her car? I don't care where it's located now. I just want to see one installed with the chrome bezel if possible.
How do I made boost?

I just got my Innovate gauge also, and will take pics after i install it if u want. Also the new XD-16 version of the gauge comes with everything (all color combinations) so u dont need to choose white face/black face, chrome bezel/black bezel. You get them all and can do whatever you want.

I got the innovate and it looks nice, but now I want to get a boost gauge that matches. My auto meter gage doesn't match because of the bezel, so I'm looking for a boost gauge with a thick silver bezel like the innovate.
