i got an autometer set from patrick at discount power parts, the C2 gauges to be exact. the pyro, boost, and trans temp, plus the "A" pillar and all hardware for install at a very reasonable price. talk to him, he'll hook you up. as for the paint, you can go to any paint store, i went to a place local here and they matched the paint with the color of one of the caps off of my oh S**t handle. matched perfectly and it was in an aerosol can. it will stick to plastic and no other prep was necessary. just cleaned the pod and let it dry then painted away. here is a photo or two for you to see. my pod came black and you cant tell after it was painted.
