Exclamation Lets see those aftermarket "Gauges"

Gang,

Hey, I'm looking for cool ideas for aftermarket gauges & mounts. So post your pictures and show off your set up.
A-pillar, dash, ash tray, center stack, I don't care.

Thanks in advance,
-Tung

I ran a Autometer Cobalt series setup

Boost, Tranny Temp, A/F Ratio

Used a Autometer Pillar mount - 2 gauges
Used the Roush A/C Pod Mount - 1 gauge







edit:
sorry, no pictures of the entire setup installed

I use to have these on top of my dash:




But I decided I didn't care for it so I moved the trans temp gauge to the coin holder on the dash:



And of course, the EDGE:

If I ever need gauges, I would be talking to these guys to see about getting some. I love these pods!

Cool.
Thanks for the pictures.
Part of the reason I asked for the pictures is to decide which style of gauge.
I am more confused on my choice then before.

Capbyrd- cool site & product. What is the cost?


Thanks everybody.

for those of you who have done the Roush vent gauge install... how easy is that? do you cut a hole in your air inlet tube and then run your wire that way

I cant really say since he hasnt made any. It is a local company and they are very active in and are sponsors of the Memphis SVTOA chapter. He uses factory Ford pillars that he buys new and uses a CNC to cut the pillar to a perfect fit for the pods. They look fantastic.

Super easy, you don't cut anything. Once you pull the holder out of the air vent tube there is a big enough gap to run all the wires down. Took me 5 minutes to put mine in, thats with running and connecting wires and everything.

I took out the power point on the passenger side (hacked up the dash pretty good so there is no going back ) and kind of made a custom "turn" so it faced me. I got a 'glow shift' guage off ebay for 35 bucks (got what i payed for ) and it worked for the month or so ive had it in. I'll admit though the pod turned out like crap, and the guage took a dump on me the other day so i got a new digital air zenith guage and a universal pod from summit im going to mold into a better pod. I'll post up some pics of what i currently have and then some of the new setup whenever it all gets here.
