Default Boost Gauges

I'd love to see some pics of boost & fuel pressure gauges installed on FI'd cars...

SC on the way and while I would really like to have that info on my dash, I would like to make it look like it was always there rather than trying to impress the world with the immense size of my.... uh, gauges....

It would be really cool if one could hack that into the digital readout in the speedo...

I had mine painted redfire.

Nice - how are you fastening?

Did you paint the rest of your dash? Or go with the refire to make it stand out?

Still staring at my dash when I drive trying to figure out where I expect it to be and even debating whether I care. I am artificially nostalgic for the days of a speedo and a tach and the rest you find out when you run out of gas or it blows up...

Hey,

I painted it, just to make it stand out in the car. I think it looks awesome and I will post pics of it installed when I get the car back on tuesday.

Oh,

Big Dave said he had to silicone his down because the tape does not work very well. So that probably what I will do also.

Yeah, I was wondering about that...

I am up north now, but I remember living in FL - if it wasn't bolted on, it melted off...

The pillar guages look cool too, but frankly given my height, I have enough to look around to see out the front window...

The new rearview has either got to move up or down - it cannot stay where it is, or I am going to get plowed on the front right one of these days...

Lowering the rear helped the cockpit geometry a bit - I am no longer staring at nothing but wing when I look back...

Post some pics, if you have not already, when you are done...

Yeah, those are the ones I was commenting on above... Look nice, but feel a little cluttered...

They are not cluttered by themselves, but compared to the old stangs, I am still getting used to how much stuff is in my upper line of sight...
