Default "A" Post Gauge Questions ???????

Hi, I am putting in a triple "A" post gauge mod and wondering which boost/vac and fuel pressure gauges to go with. I would like them to some what match the stock 01 coupe gauges. I don't want to over spend but DO want Quality. I also want to mount my Raptor there, and am wondering what to use as an adaptor to get to the 2 1/16th" opening. Best location for each gauge and shift light? PS, If any body has good used pieces I may consider that option. Pictures and supplier would would also be helpfull, as will as any ideas to help make the job easier. Thanks in advance!

Mine is a dual pod bought from Summit Racing. I went with the Autometer Cobalt gauges, they light up in blue LED.

I mounted my Raptor shift light just above the top gauge, it's directly toward my eyes at that location.....can't miss the bright blue LED the Raptor gives off.

Thanks for the input. Are you using electric or manual?
