High-Tech Gauge Install Project
Hey folks wanted to share my project with you.

Complete detailed steps can be found on my personal website

I don't think anyone attempted to put the gauge set under the instrument cluster ...well, here is how it is done!


Cheers

Nice work installing the gauges, but doesn't it defeat the purpose of having gauges if you can't see them while driving?

They should at least somewhat be in your field of vision

haha nice. Hmm but looks like your gauge is smaller (and bottomed out) and you didn't go through the trouble of relocating the motherboard

I like it.. I was going to do that too but found that visibility was poor from my driving position, so went with a Riceroni A Pillar gauge, which I have to say works perfectly while looking like a po-po magnet.
