Installing Autometer Cobalt Gauges
I brought my car to the shop for gauge installation but my mechanic wasn't able to complete the install and told me that I needed more parts like the braided SS lines to complete the fuel and oil pressure gauge. And for the water pressure gauge, I'll be needing metric fitters or hose adapters. Any other ideas?

Mine was a 2006 Mustang Stampede Edition #293 Roush inspired with Vortex supercharger and dual NOS. I put all the parts together and I love the aggressive looks of it! The louvers are so far better that the " stick ons " where you'll be scared to drive your tang greater than 100mph.

Get it hooked upright awayand be
the envy of all forum members.
The carbon fiber look goes great
with the OEM dash finish. .
You are an awesome modder.
Kudos
Its all about the bling bling with this fexan.

RE: Installing Autometer Cobalt Gauges
I have a blue carbon fiber dash and it's gonna be your envy 157db that you can't even afford to CF coat your dash! You haven't seen the whole cockpit yet and you opened your 2 year old mouth. Just keep your foot in your mouth especially that you are not a help in this community at all! And quit editing your post to change the whole story here!
I already fixed the proper position of the pod. I can't believe the mechanic drilled a hole in my dash for the wires? Is there another way of relocating the wires than drilling holes?

Wow, relax folks. No offense but I don't think it looks good either. Then again we are looking at a small picture, and not the finalized project either, so it may all come together.
I personally don't care for the shiny blue carbon fiber look, seems a bit ricey to me, especially if you say it is going to be all over the dash! but it's not my car so...everyone can have their opinion.

Post better pics and get better responses?
Cause your pic makes it look "ricey".
Also try using the "embed picture in post" option next time. [:@]

Here's a better one and behave. Pic is taken from below, therefore, common sense will tell you that it will look tall in the dash. Unless you're a dwarf!

The guage pod is too high and blocks
too much of the view out the windshield.
I have seen better guage pods that sit
lower and dont look so monster rear
spoiler wing ricey as that does.
I do like the big ol MUSTANG lettering
so your passenger does not forget what
type of vehicle they are riding in.
The interior is way too busy. Are there
ANY trim pieces available aftermarket
that you DIDNT buy? LOL
Does it at least go fast so as not to cause
everyone you drive by to get a look and
throw up a little in their mouths? JK
