Show me your gauges....

[egk2]

Looking into a gauge pod of some sort soon, let's see your gauge pods and setups, thanks. Ideally I would like a setup similar to those in the audi scene with the gauges set in the middle of the vents not totally removing them or making them useless.

not exactly what you're looking for, but one of the better ones out there for sale.

This is the Parker Performance setup - great company to buy from!

^^^ That's the best location I've ever seen for the gauges.

I don't. I think that's probably 2nd to worst location that I've seen, because of akward angle and location right behind the shifter. I prefer the 3 gauge holder that goes in the space above the ashtray because I never use that space anyway, but I do use the ashtray as a coin tray and I use the 12v cigarette lighter outlet.

Totally agree with you.

^^ Holy crap!! Good luck getting a set of those....

Now that is nice, and the location is best... Not bothered loosing both center air vents ???

Well this is my car, so I have them....
Also I have some spare LED modules in case something goes wrong...

I bet one need more than US$500 to get some of those, and also he will need the senders, and the wire harness + installation...

In any case, I just love those gauges !

Don't have A/C anyway. :)

Lately I've been toying with the idea of fabricating a Subaru-style gauge pod to sit on top of the dash above the air vents, would that make any sense or would it just look strange?

+1 that'll ditract you from the road, which is always a bad thing if you have to take you mind off of where you are going

How about one of these:

Mounted in the left driverside vent next to the door. Then you would still have your center vents and it would still be in a good location.
