Tomedkaz Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 looking good thereCould you please post more pics of the boost gauge because I'm thinking of mounting mine in the same place. Is it a wideband AF gauge?A suggestion: I'd paint the pieces to match the trim; the metal mesh piece I'd spraypaint tan to match it witht the top and the other one where the switches used to be I'd paint black..but that's just me...great job though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulu Posted August 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 The gauge where your headlight switch usded to looks great! But man... that one on the dash vent looks way bad, it looks like a siren sittin up there on your dash and isnt even close to blending in. And the one infront of your cluster is bad... very very bad.... it looks like its in the way and i thought u would want your gauges up above the dash so you dont have to take your eyes off the road.JRI agree about the dash mount, but I think the main problem is the VDO cup...see how it is once I change it...'cause that thing is poking horrible lol.Steering column mount is relatively common, I've had it there since I bought the car practically (though I changed the gauge numerous times). It's not in the way and again, you don't really look at it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some really small stuff left over that is black.I'll just straight T it to the red that's under the dash...so a couple feet. I'll just buy it when I get back up to school and do it. Thanks though.looking good thereCould you please post more pics of the boost gauge because I'm thinking of mounting mine in the same place.

But I do like the aluminum @ the headlight switch, that'll stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM850R Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Paint the mesh speaker cover black or tan to match the rest of the dash. The mounting locations are OK but the mismatch gauges and unfinished look just throws it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mounting locations are OK but the mismatch gauges and unfinished look just throws it off.Gauges are mismatched 'cause I go out of my way to collect "vintage" gauges. The SARD is early-mid 90s, HKS is mid-late I believe? If would love to match them, but good luck finding anything close to a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aequitas_Veritas Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 yeah, that looks WAY better then an A-piller with all three cleanly installed together and out of the way and not covering your stock face. right..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northmiler89 Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 hahaha.. yea, for a guy with a lot of hard work put into his motor and even more bills thrown into the car, that sure is one helluva hack job.the wheel mounted one looks sharp where it is and again, so does the light mounted one.. but the new one is soo brokeback :grant: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
