Boost gauge replaced "Lancer gauge"

I finally went ahead and cut up my gauge cluster... I've seen a couple of threads asking if it was possible. It's definitely possible. Spent too many hours on it, but all I had was a knife and a pair of pliers. I'd suggest a dremel if you plan to try it. Sorry I don't have any pictures of the actual process, I picked up the camera after it was done. Any questions, let me know. And Let me know how it looks.

That looks cool. I always wanted to do that with an amber defi gauge because I figured it would match and look good.

In all honesty, I don't really like it. Maybe just because of the gauge but it just looks really out of place. :-/

That's cool, but I agree with Talon, that guage looks out of place. If you have the opportunity I would try the Defi, although I think that would be too large. Maybe a Stewart Warner would look better, since they can be color matched, but not as large as Defi.

I like the spot but I have to agree that a different gauge would look better. Nice work though

I like the idea, but I couldn't do it unless the gauge exactly matched.

How much room is behind the cluster in that area? Is that a 52mm gauge?

I think that's awesome, man. Our cars should have a boost gauge in that spot from the factory instead of that cheesy "Lancer" circle.

GSX's and SRT4s come with boost guages but not evos (besides the crappy MR one) what was thinking
