DIN gauges?

Hey everyone, I am looking to install some extra gauges mainly because Id like to have a better idea of how my temps are running etc. Ive been looking online but I cant seem to find the right retailer for what im looking for. I want to put these possible gauges below my aftermarket cd unit in my 1990 GTUs and I need to know of a good place to get not only the gauge but a decent pod for the DIN space. I have searched some on the forum and found a few things but I still thought I would ask.

Thanks

Jake

you looking for something like this? I don't have any pics of it with the stereo or guages installed. I still need to paint it black to match the rest of the trim.

Or maybe something like this? I've not used it, but it fits your description pretty well.

I hope you got that one because I saw someone got it via "Buy Now." It's definitely much less expensive than the defi, though with the defi the gauges are included:

haha yeah that was me that got it. The Defi one was sweet, but right now Im just going for the temp gauge so this panel allows me to wait till later to get more.

Thanks

those ebay gauge panels are always for sale. just do a search for "rx7 din panel" and a couple should show up.

These are always on ebay too: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WD1V

those prices are ****. The Saab din panel is like 8 bucks from the dealer. Holds 3 52 mil guages and is a perfect snap in fit.

As far as I know, Saab discontinued the panel. I tried to get it from the dealership and they said they couldn't get it. And I know I'm not the only one who tried...

It already has the holes pre-cut, so until you get other gauges, the holes would be there.

It's a much better idea than that $75 (after shipping) item on eBay.
