Factory gauge pod with aftermarket gauges, looking for pictures

For awhile now I've had a factory style gauge pod in my Eagle that came from a Spirit in a junkyard. Basically I've got just the black plastic piece that surrounds the transmission shifter and no gauges. I'd like to put in a few aftermarket gauges, thinking glow shift or something along those lines that black out when the car is off.

What have you guys installed in place of the factory gauges in the under dash pod? Got any pictures?

Does the pod fit OK?  Spirits used a stacked two over two pod vs. the Eagle's four in a row pod.  Our transmission humps did not allow for the use of the Spirit type pod.

It fits great. I know the style of pod you're referring to and that's not what I have. It was laying in the back seat of the junkyard Spirit when I found it so maybe it didn't actually come from that car? ???

This is the style of pod I have
