Talking Boost Gauge

If you had to option to buy one:

1) Would you get one to begin with? If so,

2)Which one would you purchase?

Just want the feel on what you guys think.

In my opinion I think it's a bit ricey but I've been wrong before.

The interior gauges on the S2000 is red right? If it is it'll look bad *** with the red one they sell, but if I do decide on buying one which one will match my amber C32 gauges?

I had the BF series in amber. It matched the S2000 speedometer well.

Quite a few. I saw you a few weeks back you were heading North on 4th Ave
(Red Road) just crossing 49th st in Hialeah and you took off.

I've seen a white C32, and another silver C32 around where I live in Hialeah.

The pillar pod would be custom. Why are you putting these in? If you want to monitor boost, why not use an electronic unit that you can hide away most of the time?
