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!

I think the Autometer Nexus gauges match the best to the stock cluster. Since they match the best...they obviously have to be the most expensive!

Are the Nexus gauges a pain to set up? With both electric gauges do you only need one 6400 remote? Your talkin about $725.00 for the three pieces if you only need one remote which is all I think you need. They do look good. I guess I won't have as big a lump under my left cheek if I get these. Theres got to be something just under this that is Quality without needing a remote.$$$$????
