You know, you're right. Besides, I'm only getting one more gauge. So, why not have it all match. I don't know where to mount the gauge though. Maybe underneath the cd player, the empty space. I don't want to have too many gauges on the a-pillar, a bit ricey.

Up at the top of the pillar (next to the visor)... or you can do what Stynki and Thomas did.

How many black rimmed maximas are there? There's more than I thought...
I guess I am kinda in the black rims club. My are really gunmetal though. oh well

Keving: you are right about the guages, I got autometer for the first 2, and I am getting apexi or greddy and tomei for my other ones, probably going to look funny but oh well. I just might have to change my old ones out.

Got any pricing info on the Tomei?

Gauges not matching + bouncing on stock struts/shocks = rice

You know what, I dont see how the hell tomei is still in business. They must sell alot of stuff over in japan. I cant find a single damn place that carries their stuff.

haha, wont be bouncing soon, I am buying mings back struts and waiting for tire rack to get the front ones in. Shaddup about the guages. Do you think that the apexi/greddy/hks guages will wire up the same way as the autometer. I want to change them but wont if it is to much trouble.

Wicked: You can get the Apexi guages for around 100-150 for the non-electronic warning ones. The warning ones are like 225-250.

They're pretty big in Japan, so that's how they stay in business.

I'm pretty sure the wiring is the same (ignition, ground, etc.), but the connector to the gauge itself should be different. Just tap/splice into the same wires and you shouldn't have a problem.

Until you get those struts... you're still a bouncing rice boy.

That is what I figured. Tomei needs to share the wealth a little better.

Well that is good to here, just might have to change them out then.
BUT, I cant make up my mind as to what I want to do next. I am torn between reclinable bucket seats, (most likely sparco), or Nitrous and all the crap that I need with it. They are both about the same price. What do you think

me no rice...

Well, you got pictures on this thread of black and gunmetal rims. I personally like gunmetal better, but it is up to you. They both look good. I think you car with gunmetal Arrows would look soooooo sexy. You should have someone photoshop some gunmetal ones on there.

Are you prepared for nitrous? Make sure you don't go boom! IMO, you should do prep stuff first.

prepared as in, guages, window switch, bottle heater, purge kit, spark plugs, fuel pump. By the way I would only run a 50 shot. I would not need half that stuff.

what else have I missed out on. i think i got everything, any other prepping that you can think of.

If the shop has a gunmetal shade, then I say, go for the gunmetal. The shop that I went to didn't have any shade close to gunmetal, so I just went with glossy black.

Sportier lights? What do you mean? The headlights? If you're talking about the headlights, I already swap the 95-96 ones for the 97-99 ones. There are no projector or one piece headlights for my car yet.
