99' SLK230
Red face gauge and poc

Well, I bought a boost gauge from faze. It's an indiglo gauge style with white face, red needle, and green/blue color change, and a universal pod from faze too. The gauge is about 2 in. dia. pretty cool actually. But I don't actually what model is your car thus, mine is slk230. It's pretty simple to install the boost gauge on mine. I have to do some modifying to the pod to fit it to the side window panel. I'll keep you updated when I finish it this weekend.
