Nice install

Looks great,
but as others have said, maybe not the most functional spot

As you know our lightning have limited space to mount our gauges. At any autometer dealer you can get rings that tilt the gauges up if you think about it you either got to look up or down to vIEW any gauge until somebody comes up with a better ideal this is good enough for me. and i also have the a pillor full and.. As much money as i have invested in my lightning JDM motor etc i want to monitor and know whats going that is the main reason for the gauges i still have two more gauges to mount pyrometer and electric water temp.thanks tom

Here is a spot where you can install one more guage



but be very very careful if you mount it here. There is only about 1/8 of a inch to spare, so make sure you really measure carefully, or you will have a worthless trim panel.

I totally agree, but I wouldn't want to be reading guages by looking at the floor... That's just me though. But like I said before, it looks good and props to him.

Tom,

Let's work together so your posts are more understandable.

I also agree with everyone who thinks the gauge position sucks. It's quite terrible.
