[MP3Architect]

[FL_PR5]

wow, thanks man, thats more than good. it's perfect. thanks!

 

[FL_PR5]

wouldyou have any pics of it painted on? just so i could see it?

 

[MP3Architect]

i think that paint cost me either $3 or $5. cant remember. heres the only pic i have of it painted. never took one of it on the car for some reason (and its in the shop so i cant take another one till it gets back)

 

[FL_PR5]

o ok. thanks. i'll go get that paint when i get my pod.

Paint it semi-gloss black and get the silver-lipped autometer ultra-lite gauges...they look very similar to a stock set with the DaveB brushed rings. I'll take soem pics if you'd like

 

[FL_PR5]

yea thatd be great. i actually just got in my a/f gauge after about 4weeks now i need the pod. and they are Ultralite Autometer gauges so i have the exact setup as you just described minus the pod pillar.

 

[NetGuy]

Here you go...I think they're a pretty good match during the day. My only complaint about the Ultra-Lite is that they night lighting pretty much sucks. The little red booties they come with are a close match to stock, but they fade fairly quickly.

Do you find the higher gauges on that pillar to be a little distracting? I opted for the 2-gauge piller because I found the top gauge to be a little close to my eyes. I'm either going to add some gauges to the spot above the glove box (picked up a spare at a junkyard) or build a fiberglass pod on top of the dash like a lot of WRX etc have.

The Top One is A/F Narrow so not really important but still visible. he bottom three are perfectly in close view.

 

[FL_PR5]

thanks for the pics. i'm working something out with horsepowerfreaks vendor now. big help.
