    I have absolutely no idea... but I'm thinking about an A/F gauge, maybe EGT? and a pod. That's why we need pics!

    Here is what it looks like unpainted. I didnt know what color to use either so I put it in as is. Believe it or not, looks great.

    Well, so far the fit seems good. Got some paint from Home Depot. Krylon Fusion for plastic. Right now I'm letting the Primer dry. Then I'll paint it. The color is pretty close, not exact - but I don't think you'll be able to tell once its in the car.

    When I was at the speed shop the other day I noticed they had VHT plastic paints. I know earlier in this thread people recommended other stuff. Reason I mention it, the color's I saw were labelled as "Dodge Grey" etc.... Might be a perfect match.

    Ya, I was just going to install it and paint it later. Turns out it looks good, not out of place at all. I was even thinking of taking off the passenger side pillar and getting it fabric painted or whatever black. Its fine like it is :)
