[99GrandAMSE]

I have a 2-pod and "thought" that I wanted to go with a 3-pod but decided not to :) ... I bought this from another member here last year and just never used it

[cranch]

I have the same pod and gauges as Kelly. They're Autometer Z-Series Volt & Oil Pressure. We wanted something close to the factory look. VDO gauges are even closer.

What he said :)

i agree sunrunner that is exactly the set up i want. whats your interior color called? mine is tan. or whatever its refered to

[sunrunner_pei]

I've got the Pewter interior in my '03. My '99 had the somewhat rare 'Camel' interior, and I also had a Lotek gauge pod in it.

i have never seen a grand am with "camel" interior, looks good...and im not really into brown on cars.

[cranch]

i cant figure mine out i have a grey dash but the roof etc is a tan color

[Deggy Fresh]

get whatever matches your pillar color.

[boost21]

i have never seen a grand am with "camel" interior, looks good...and im not really into brown on cars.
IIRC It was only on the 99's

[Deggy Fresh]

interesting.....was it a rare option?

im glad i don't have it being i have a black car, but in like a red car it wouldnt look too bad.

[Deggy Fresh]

and what does IIRC mean, ive been trying to figure that out.....not up to date on my forum lingo lately.

[cjmeyers]

i believe it is "if i recall corectly" don't quote me on that tho haha

[Deggy Fresh]

thats what i was thinking but i wasnt sure.

The Camel interior was discontinued after 1999. I really liked it, and find the Pewter and Taupe to be very bland in comparison. I guess it's safe to say it's fairly rare, as not everyone likes tan like that, and it was only offered for a few years (It was available on the 4th Gen as well). I had it with black, but it would also look good with red.

Showing both the interior and exterior:

that looks nice with a green car...i wouldn't like it with a black car tho...im not a black/brown kinda guy.

[99GrandAMSE]

I had the option of having that color in my '99 when I bought it as there were two identical cars, one with and one without ... I preferred it but the wife didn't so of course, we didn't get it ;) :lol:

[sunrunner_pei]

Well, that's only fair, as it is her car. ;) :lol:

[99GrandAMSE]

Low blow!!! :kick:


:lol:

[ga5speed02]

Well, that's only fair, as it is her car. ;) :lol:

yea after all, it is pink :afro:

[cranch]

well i am thinkin my pillars are taupe. anyone got pics of taupe and pewter? unfortunatly i am limited to normal colors such as red blue etc.. lol

[Blackhawk]

taupe = kinda tan
pewter = gray

[cranch]

i have a grey dash/seats etc with a tanish headliner and pillers

[KhellendrosXS]

You need the Pewter colored pillar then.

If you want some good looking gauges that match the stock interior go with Stewart Warner Maximum Perfomance Series gauges. You can buy them on Summitracing.com. They light up through the back so I went to superbrightleds.com to get some nice red LEDs for them.

They are the same ones that this guy used for his car. Im running trans temp, oil pressure, and fuel pressure. I also have a 2 5/8s gauge for boost.

NOT MY CAR (but same gauges that I have):

LED's I used (plug and play, no resistors needed):

http://www.superbrightleds.com/mini-wedge.html

WLED-x5 LED Wedge Base Bulbs

5-LED super wide angle 194/168 wedge base bulbs
4 radially mounted 3mm LEDs emit most of the light from the sides of the bulbs
1 High Flux LED emits from the end of the bulbs
These bulbs are non-polarized

I had to squeeze the outer LEDs in just a bit so they would fit into the back of the gauges but they look super nice!
