Custom guages

I have seen a few guys on here that have special cool looking guages in their trucks. The two imparticular that I am referring to are: one goes on the left of the steering wheel and sits on top of the dash right above the drivers side left ac vent, and the other was on somebody's truck and it was like blue illuminated guages that go where that empty tray is on the dash in the new body F150's...looked like a few different guages, and it filled that ugly hole in all of our dashes...anybody have anymore info or pics on this subject matter?

HI!... Stay away from the AUTOMETER "A" pillar gauge pods, there JUNK. I had one. They fit over the stock "A" pillar trim piece and have terrible fittment issues, plus they only come in black. You have to paint it yourself. Get one from LO-TEK. The totally replace your factory "A' pillar trim piece and already come painted in your interiors colour. Fittment is not perfect but way better that AUTOMETERS.

LO-TEK make a gauge pod for the F-150 to retain the grap handle :
