And the fresh products keep rolling along! This month, HPP is highlighting gauges so you can dress up your dash while ensuring accurate monitoring of the all-important engine vitals. So, whether you would like to know your transmission's fluid temperature or you just want a non-stock look in your Poncho's cockpit, you might find exactly what you're looking for perusing the many products featured here. Don't need gauges for your ride? Don't worry--there are quite a few other hot, new products contained herein as well.

 Pontiac G6 Sedan Driver Side View

The "Pontiac Accessorized G6 Sedan" SEMA show car illustrated how a G6 can be modified using products from your Pontiac dealer. Its ground-effects package, interior trim kit, and chrome exhaust tip are available from Pontiac Accessories; the 18-inch wheel upgrade should be soon. Lowering springs are aftermarket, but the spoiler, grille inserts, and black chrome headlamps were made specifically for this show car, according to Pontiac.
