Merry Christmas to me!

My GF gave me 3 Pro-Sport Gauges (Oil Temp., Oil Press., and Water Temp.) for Christmas. Finally got done installing them today along with a bunch of other goodies and mods.

Since they are the Premium 60mm Amber series gauges, my mounting options were limited. Either a $250 Carbontrix Carbon Fiber pillar pod (that only holds 2 gauges), or a Lotek 3 gauge pod that replaces my map compartment (but only holds 52mm gauges). So I opted to fabricate my own gauge panel to install inside of the map compartment. I was able to retain the ability to close the lid, store small items, and be a little stealthy.

Day Mode, matches my white letter, black face OEM gauges.

The Oil Pressure and Temperature Senders installed in the rear bank, underneath the throttle body.

While I had the engine bay torn apart, I also did the TB coolant bypass and the EGR mod. So far, I can't complain about doing either one.
Sorry for the crappy pics, those are all I have for now, but I'm going to try and take some tomorrow during the day.
 
Nice install.

+1 for 60 mm gauges
+5 for custom installation

Which engine is that? I am trying to find where to tap into for oil pressure myself.
