Radiator Cap with Temp Gauge on it
Has anyone seen or used these? I know that the factory Toyota temp gauge will read the same over a wide range of temps, so I thought I might try thhis thermocap to see if it's true.

good for bling but is that practical? by the time you look down at the dash, realize something's wrong and pull over, it's kinda late to have an exact reading on temp.
want something worth while? put this in a TRD boost gague housing for the a-pillar

I just thought about trying it to see if the temp was really getting high before the factory temp gauge moved. I remember reading a thread on here where someone was saying the factory temp gauge didn't move above 1/2 until like 230 or so.
