Got the 2 gauges in. Got to put the boost in still gauge in still. Once this is done I can pick up my wideband/data logger. Still have to paint the rings along with the rest of the interior.

I think it looks buch better with the angle rings in then just letting them sit in there. From the driver side I can read them really good to.

Very nice. I wasn't initially a fan of gauges to the right of the stereo / HVAC cluster, but you've impressed me :D

He wants to know if the guages light up the same color as your dash.

Looks sweet Jay!

I never understood the whole position of putting them over there.... But hey, if you like it... that's all that counts!

Thanks guys.

Few reason why I chose to put the guages over there. The main reason was becuase of my size I allready find the pillar to be a problem at some times on left turns. I drove a few cars with a pillar pod and its even worse. Like a big blind spot.

So I figure to get more of a show look i would install them there and just to be different.

Im having 2nd thoughts about a oil gauge. LOL Even thow Im doing a copper line. I dunno.

Yeah I forgot how close to the steering wheel you have to sit. Makes perfect sense how that pillar would be in the way......
