Mounting Gauges?
I'm looking for somewhere to put two gauges, usual size, Boost and wideband, I don't want to go with pillar pods beacuse its just played out.
I was looking at these, simple easy, not sure if it would look bad or not, right above the dash vents behind the green part of my dash on the crashpad.

FG to dashboard. It might look good if you could match the ridges above the heater vents. Or if you don't want heat, inside the heater vents. Or on top of the steering coloumn cover. This is going to look badass!
lol I just finished FG work on my hatch and I'm done with FG for the year LOL
I was thinking in the cigarette lighter/ashtray like yamaha but I'm not sure.
Good Idea on the steering column cover.

i am very happy with these gauge pods. they come with 5 different mounts, which lets you improvise the installation:

the boost and wideband are mounted on the steering column cover using mount #1, and the EGT gauge is mounted from the coin box using mount #5:

Yamaha's was alright, but i don't like the execution of it. I think if you're going to do it, don't just make something and set it in there, FG it in there.
There was a Korean Tiburon with 4 gauges lined up on the passenger side. I thought it looked really good. Maybe you could put them next to your airbag Tv.

He's talking about this.






If you were to make one of those, I'd buy it in a second.

No, that's not it. They had one with 4 gauges lined up along the passenger side airbag. They were in a music video...

I wouldnt put them over by the passenger air bag. The reason people put them in pillar pods is because they need to see them. Theres no point in having gauges if you are going to put them where you cant take a quick look at them anytime without completely losing sight of your driving. Being two important gauges I would keep them close. Top of steering column would be good.
