Default Additional Gauges on your Pilot

Say you were going to install an A-Pillar pod, with... say 3 gauges. What would you put on your Pilot?

...yes I know the airbags would prevent it.

Just wondering what folks would install IF they were going to do it?

I think that the gauges that come with the Pilot are already pretty comprehensive.

However, if you really felt the need and did a lot of towing, a transmission temperature gauge and oil temperature gauge would be useful.

Get the ScanGauge for all your "gauge-ing" needs.

Not sure, their new X-Gauge feature might.

I've used on of those in the past, they are pretty nice... I'm mostly asking as I had a friend in my Pilot who won't stop pestering me about doing some "mods" (this is a guy who put in an A pillar on his civic dx 2 years before doing a B18c swap).

I think I might be able to convince him to do a mock-up for a gauge pod cluster or something else amusing, he is not a bad hand at sketching up a plan.

So far I've got:
Oil Pressure
Oil Temp
Transmission Temperature
Constant MPG
Battery

I'm using gauge examples from here, as their design seems 'close' to the stock dash layout of my '06:
Prosport Gauges-Amber/white performance series gauges
