Default Installed a couple new gauges... (glovebox)

Haven't seen anyone do it this way yet. Just got a couple swivel pods and screwed them straight into the glove box. They work great, and with right/left and up/down swivels I can point them right at me. Pretty neat install. Right now it's only trans temp and the wideband, I'll probably throw my boost gauge in there too when I get time.

Yea my whole theory behind that is I don't want the car to look "racey". And once the car is tuned I won't need to look at the gauges 90% of the time. So I'll just keep it closed when cruising.

Actually it was a cheapo new company my friend told me about. Shift glow? a 3 gauge bezel was like 9 bucks. I had to remove the stand for clearance though.

I actually like the way there gauges look, and u can't beat the price. The multiple background colors are a nice feature as well.

Looks good Adam, You are allready making good progress on the car. Glad to see it go to someone that has time for it. So now that you got the wideband, is it really rich off the line?

I was looking at the pods they seem like they are attached to a platform do you think I could take them apart from the platform so they are single three rather than grouped three?
