Default Check Out These Gauges....

I'm buying a blower just so I can have these. Check out how they change colors on start up.

This is very true, there are some fast ricers out there. Watch out especialy for any four banger with AWD. The car is lighter and has more traction and usually tons of power. The only down side is in order for that small of a motor to make enough power to beat my vette is it will have the life span of my Goodyear Supercar tires on burnout day.

One of the guys here, either Patches or Evil-Twin, got covers for his pillar mounted gauges. Good idea I think since they'll usually be a distraction and attract unwanted attention.
