good, subtle place for small guage?

grey5.0beast · Oct 8, 2006

I really like the look of alot of the guage setups in our cars, but in my car, I prefer the sleeper look, ie:stock exterior, stock interior, minus headunit.

I wanted to run a 2 1/16" boost guage in my ash tray so that I could close it and ppl wouldn't be able to see it, but after some measurements, thats not gonna work.

So, where is a nice subtle place for only me or for ppl who know where it is to see?

My dad suggested under the sterring cloumn somewhere, but I am not sure if I would like that, any other ideas are welcome!!

Glove box

make it fit in the far driverside heater vent

yeah, but I want to be able to view it, i can't really reach over and open the glove box while driving. Thats why I thought the ashtray would be awesome, flip and bam!

is 2 1/16 the smallest guage made? I just need a boost guage.

I know you can get 2" gauges

I think someone needs to make a gauge pod for 2-1/16 gauges that mounts up by the rear view mirror..out of the way and in the line of sight. It may be a bit distracting at night though.

I am a sleeper looking interior enthusiast as well. Except for the 99 Cobra's and Cobra brake set-up, my car looks fairly stock.

k, I don't have any good ones of the dash area though

grey5.0beast · Oct 8, 2006

i was thinking, maybe 2 guages, air/fuel and boost under my head unit. How would that be? I don't like it, but it'll do

+1! i saw a thread on here with someone who did that and it looked real nice!! You could see every gauge unless you were in 1-3-5 where the 1st, 2nd or 3rd gauges would be slightly blocked.

found it!!

looks damn near stock to me!

Air/fuel ratio isnt worth the money, so ive heard because it only works going full throttle and who wants to take their eyes off the road going full throttle? not me. How is the supercharger goin?
