I need oil pres. and temp gauges in my 98 coupe but i dont know of a good place to put em. I dont like pillar pods nor do i like the frog eye cluster pods

 

you can be creative and make your own pods to fit anywhere you'd like

 

its been awhile since I have had a civic but in my coupe I think I remember there being a little place where you could maybe put another radio infront of the shift boot. I would say there. Just get a piece of black plastic and drill the holes out.

 

and what are some nice looking but not typical gauges?

 

greddy and defi, but your lookin at some money. when it comes to guages, autometer is the way to go. IMO

 

Guages are guages, don't spend more than 50 bucks on some, if you do you are an idiot because you are paying for a name. I love the way the Defi guages look but im not going to shell out 100 each for them. Anyway, I have Siemens VDO guages (boost and oil) and they are VERY clean and simple.


Other than those two places you mentioned (i have a cluster bezel and it looks clean matched with the VDO guages) i could only think of using a OEM block off plate and cutting holes in that, but IMO that looks like trash.
