Didn't see if you're auto or not. Here's my 06' 6spd. Bought the dual Westech and SRT10 pod from www.genosgarage.com.

Quad Commander vs Recon

I am in the same boat. I am considering the Commander or the Recon but would like to hear more opinions on each. The Recon looks like a great little package that would not be so obtrusive down in the factory gauge panel location. I do not have any immediate plans to control any chips so is there much advantage of the Commander over the Recon other than the larger and more simultaneous display? It looks like the Recon can be programmed with high/low tattletale warnings but would like to hear more feedback on its operation. Thanks.

not a fan of dual gauges... but thats just me

i have triple autometer NV's down the A-pillar. Love them. Just something about seeing a truck going the opposite direction with 3 gauges going down the pillar.

those a pretty slick (although i could do without the green "NV" decal in the center of the gauges), i myself like the look of a string of gauges crawling up the a-arm. i cant decide wether i want the a-pillar pod, or the "under a/c controls" gauge pod...

I could post mine, but it would look like a duplicate post of Boz007

Cept, I have my EGT in the middle, Fuel Pressure in the lower spot.

Cmullen, you need a hand just let me know. I have all the stuff needed to do an install (bit, tap, etc.) This was my second time doing it.

Let me know, you can't be too far from me judging by your listed location...

yeah the NV symbol in the middle is kinda gay, but minor detail.

On the argument of Pillar VS Cubby hole... i use the cubby hole to put my phone there when im not using it. as does anyone else riding with me, and i dont want to be looking down there to see whats going on when i can just look a little to the side when im driving and see.

Also, when you see this going down the road, doesnt it just say "ive got stuff in my truck, dont mess with me"
