i take back my comment for putting it where the cubby hole is, ull never see it there. and now that i see it in action this idea could work. i like it. good luck if you ever want another gauge like an aeroforce though...

im digin the placement :th_thumbsup-wink:
looks real good.
i too am not a fan of gauges on the piller.
It's done for now. Pics as promised!! I cut the right side about 1/8" too much. The pic makes it look worse than it is because of the shadow. I just need a new piece of plastic and I'll do that when I can fine a red bulb for the gauge, I like that idea!!
Other than that I'm happy how it came out. I don't think this looks hack at all. :th_thumbsup-wink:
Good ol' JB weld.

I ran it like that because it was easier than running it threw the firewall grommet. Not the cleanest look but you can only see it when the doors open. Later on down the road when im under the car ill re-rout it.
looks good i prefer a-pillar myself but good work. not a fan of the half@$$ vacuum line running hope you change that soon. thats ok for temp but thats it. it doesn't take anything to run the line through the firewall an looks 1000 times cleaner.
i drilled a hole in my firewall and made my own frommet to run all my sending unit wiring and vacuum line for the boost gauge. old spark plug boots make great grommets just fyi.
hey, that is the same as my old cd player..lol nice work, but shame on you for the lazy vac line routing!
sorry just looked closer, my cd player was the hi end version of that model
