Most aftermarket boost gauges look like add-ons. The dial numbers and lighting don't match the factory gauges. Many use an afterthought mounting system that looks out of place. We think your boost gauge should be easy to see, and blend with your interior. That's why we've developed these all new boost gauge kits. The gauge design and lighting blend with other dash gauges to give it a classy, factory-installed look. We've even prepared a detailed photo tutorial outlining the installation, so the fun can start as soon as you open the box.

Tweak fuel pressure, then monitor line pressure with ECS Tuning Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulators and inline Fuel Pressure Gauge Kits. Based on a Bosch regulator, our metal-bodied adjustable regulator is an exact-fit replacement for the stock unit.

Add our 0-100 psi pressure gauge, individually, or as part of a kit, and take the guesswork out of fuel pressure monitoring and adjustment.

Face it. Your old lower door trim panels take a beating, and some even go missing.

Use their stock charcoal plastic finish as a styling accent, or color match to make them blend in with your car's color.

Why settle for good brakes when you can have a great ones? Stock brake rotors and hydraulic hoses are "okay," or they wouldn't be installed at the factory. But we all know the difference between stock and premium parts when it comes to durability and performance.

Then add ECS Exact-Fit brake lines, engineered to improve pedal feel; stylish enough to showcase behind your new alloys. Might want to check your brakes while both are on sale.

If your car is driven near ocean sprays or exposed to winter road salt, check out ECS stainless steel rotor hold down screws. Regular steel screws can't stand up to salt. They rust fast and seize in place. Go ahead, try to get them out! The hex head goes round with the first twist of the wrench, and you end up center drilling the bolts to remove them. Argggh. Plan ahead. Install stainless screws on this brake job, and you won't have to drill them out on the next one. Keep them on hand.
