Came Up With A Gauge Pod Idea!

[Silver Ecstasy]

I'm trying to make sure I understand correct, about the OP's idea.

You're going to order the dash piece that usually holds the Navi option, then put the gauges in that enclosure? That's actually a really hot idea! Subtle, hidden when you don't want to use them or if you get pulled over and want to look innocent hehe. You should probably also wire up a switch that would activate when you close the enclosure, so the gauge's backlights turn off.

Well the dash kit doesn't close and open. It's just a DIN piece that always is there. Kind of like the gauges on the 350Z being in the middle.

Oh I see. We arn't talking about the aftermarket center dash piece that gives you 3 bezel gauges, exactly like the Z right? I've seen plenty of those.
