Custom Dash Gauges, Pods and Dash Covers: a Guide
Customizing your ride does not stop with the exterior. There are many ways to add style and function to the interior of your ride. While interior lighting, custom shifter knobs, steering wheels and seats offer you many benefits, one area that must not be overlooked is your dash. Dash gauges offer you numerous benefits, allowing you to track every nuance of vehicle performance, from oil pressure/temperature to turbo and supercharger operation and your RPMs. Custom gauge pods and dash covers will give you the look you need and house your accessories.
Why should you purchase custom dash gauges for your ride? Most automakers provide very few gauges in the dash. The speedometer, a temperature gauge, the odometer and the fuel gauge are all that the OEM usually includes. While that small selection is fine for commuters and standard drivers, those who add performance enhancements to their vehicles usually require more in the way of information.
Custom dash gauges provide you with a wide range of information. For instance, many vehicles do not have a tachometer today; even straight shift models sometimes lack this fundamental gauge. You can purchase aftermarket tachometers that even provide you boots information. Water temperature, oil temperature, exhaust temperature, air-fuel mixture readings, voltmeters for gauging your battery power and oil pressure gauges are all more than handy. For the serious tuner, these gauges are vital.
To hold those gauges, you'll need gauge pods. These are aftermarket housings that adhere or screw to your dash or A column. Custom gauges fit inside the pods, providing a sleek, streamlined look for your interior. You'll find pod clusters in sets of two and three, or even more. In addition, you can choose from a wide range of different colors. Different styles mount in different locations. While the top of your dash is the traditional place to mount gauges, the A column offers you ready access to the information and a great racecar look.
Another popular option is that of gauge faceplates. These are custom colored gauge covers that fit over your existing gauges. Dash cluster removal is necessary for installation of these babies, though; make sure you know what you are doing before you choose to install them in your ride. White, red, blue and several other colors are available, as are "glow" effect faceplates.
Additionally, dash covers give you a way to protect your dash from the damaging effects of sunlight, while still maintaining a great look. Dash covers are custom made to fit your OEM dash and can be configured with numerous side panels and add-ons. These are available in several different colors, though black and tan are the two favorites.
Regardless of the exact gauge configuration you choose, you'll find that installing gauges, dash covers and gauge pods can add a great look to your ride, as well as providing you with the information that you need about engine performance. A true tuner needs all the information available, in order to ensure proper engine performance.
