Seriously, though. Why the hell do you want gauges to be 'in?' Spend the money to make your car faster, or make it run better. If you're concerned about keeping an eye on something, put a gauge and a warning light/alarm on it, but only if you need to. I mean, hell, I know if I had my way, I'd have a fucking wall of gauges and screens that told me everything happening in my car, but thats because my car makes all sorts of funny noises and smells and it freaks the hell out of me.
If you don't have any special reason to keep an eye on something, then don't worry about a gauge for it.
