    So, i went back and searched the forum and found a couple posts, but
    im lookin to add a a boost gauge and trans temp in the dic. I know
    plenty have done it, but alot of pics are not available. So, just looking
    to get some pics and or a write-up on the procedure someone used.

    Im not trying to do the fiberglass game though it would be nice. I did
    see a pvc sheet at home depot that i think would work, but i'm taking
    suggestions.

    Not sure you're going to get away with not using fiberglass on this, along with the PVC. I've seen a custom setup that used PVC tubes to mount the gauges into but the rest was 'glassed in and then sanded/painted to match. Looked really labor intensive.

    I cheaped out and got the A-pillar mount. Much easier plus I can run all my wires right up the side and not mess with the dash area.

    I had that for a while and sold it when I got rid of the gp. I bought it from someone else, I don’t remember if they made or who they were at this point. It was pvc for the gauges and fiberglass to fill and I added some body filler to smooth it out and painted it black. I also had to modify it to fit the double head unit I had. I also had a triple pillar pod with aem gauges and a boost controller.
