Looking good. Do you have a pic in the daylight so I can see how the gauge pod is integrated.

Update
Car is running great drove down to san Diego today and got an average of 25.2 round trip which is about an 1.5 hours one way.

I changed the bulb color on the gauge and now it matches the amber glow a little better.

I noticed you have a mishimoto, I have the same one. How did you go about mounting it on the bottom mounts?
does it sit in the plastic mounts the same as stock?

Thanks to e30savage who hooked me up with a spare center console to use as a mold.

Love the build man! I've read through it several times now. :) The wire tuck came out nice, no? It cleaned up your engine bay big time. Keep up the good work.

Thanks
The wire tuck was quite a bit of effort but the end result looks nice.
