Extra Dash Top Pod Gauges

[land864]

Was thinking of putting 4 extra gauges in a dash top pod .

Would get them to match the black background , white needle and markings of factory gauges. Other options would be digital read out but wanted
to maintain the analogue look.

Some questions.

1. Was thinking of ; engine temp , EGT, Oil temp and Oil pressure as they seem to be the most important. What are your thoughts.
2. Can we use any existing wiring/ tapping points to run electrtonic gauges or do they need to be direct connect raw data sensing
3. In my 02 I don't particularly want the ash tray so was going to use that spot. See any probs?
4. Any one have/seen a good quality dash top pod
