How about the gauge pods? What do you guys use and do you like them? I haven't seen anything I like out there.

I'm going with the Stack dash. By the time you get a full set of good gauges, and figure out where to put them, the dash is about the same price/cheaper, and a much cleaner install. (I can't stand gauges all over the place)

The best place to go for indiglo gauges and chrome or carbon fiber bezel is ebay. I got some E.L. indiglo gauges that lay over the stock gauges for $29.95, You dont even have to take off your needles to install them. You can also get a bezel(chrome or carbon fiber) for $12. I have the indiglo gauges with the chrome bezel, it looks tight. The gauges glow really bright blue or green. It also has a dimmer switch you install under you dash. A really great value!!!!
