Well, you can look in my sig. to see my car is pretty much complete. A member on here was parting out his interior gauge cluster and I scooped it up. I think gruppe-s makes it. Anyway I used to have my gauges on the steering column but I wanted to clean up the interior a bit.

Before anyone comments I know I am missing a gauge. I think I may buy an aquamist gauge to fill the whole (I run an SMC alky kit but u can run the gauge with this kit)

Anyway

BEFORE


AFTER








SO FOLLOWING YOUR FEED BACK MY AEM GAUGE HAS BEEN SWITCHED TO WHITE....SO EVERYTHING IS COLOR MATCHED.

The steering area did look a little busy. A wideband is next on my list of goodies... Nice job

 

ide like it better if the dash piece was black, and especially if all the gauges matched. that really would bug me

 

shouldve kept the gauges in your driving view... your not gonna be able to look at them without taking your eyes off the road

 

Well the dash piece is color matched to what the stock piece looked like. It supposed to look oem.

Second, I don't really car about color matching But....look at my first pic. My AEM Uego gauge has a white face too....so I can change it to make the two gauges match white if you think that would look better. What do ya think?

 

+1 to EvoJoeIX. I would rather look straight and down a tad than peer over to the right.

 

ehh My guage setup I just sold was in the radio are too I loved them there because if you hitting up the track its not that hard to glance over and check them out-JOEYD

 

Best spot for glancing at them is at the A pillar. Putting the gauges at the former radio location makes the interior look a little better, less cheep.

Oh and AEM wideband looks ugly as hell. I hate their gauge, it doesnt seem to go well with any other gauge. Their all bulky and with too much depth.

 

To me I think it's worth sacrificing the best placement for overall aesthetics. IMO A-Pillar gauges look terrible in ANY car and gauges on the steering column don't look much better. Whenever I see that it just screams "RICE" and "Low Rent."

Keeping the gauges where it looks OEM like the OP looks far better and is the only way I would go.

This applies to street cars of course. Purpose built race cars need gauges where they are best seen.

 

Well put...however....to all the negative comments....your all honestly right. When running 600whp and 31psi on the street it is nearly impossible to glance to the right before bouncing off the rev limiter between shifts. But honestly I don't pay attention to my boost much...the aem has boost cut set at 33psi right now so it will break up far before I over boost. My A/F however is important and I try to glance at that during wide open pulls whenever possible.

Thank you for the comment though...as I agree that the car looks a hell of a lot cleaner.

 

I went out for a few pulls.
It's not to bad to glance over...but on the steering column I will admit it made it a bit easier.

 

I dont like how the gauges are not the same, it dosent look clean like that.

 

i don't think it is so much as they are not the same gauges but the face color at least needs to be the same

 

truth

 

nice clean interior!
