    so i know this has been done before but i figured id post pics anyway....

    got tired of having a pillar pod as i wanted something more low key and sleeperish and less cop attractive.....i never felt like a pillar pod looked right in a gp....so i did this....




    was concerned it would be more inconvienient in this location as far as vision but i actually find it easy to glance down if i need something i dont ever stare at gauges while im driving anyway kinda dangerous, unless im on an empty road scanning for knock but i usually have a buddy in the car to do it anyway....reaching the aeroforce isnt a hassle either....overallsleeper status accomplished, free stealth pod heres some night shots as well. now im tempted to get some pre gen 16 5 spokes and ditch the bullits for a more stockish look, but i like my bullitts haha.....plus a rocker'd 3.4 setup isnt so much to hide maybe with e85, a genV and a nasty tune it would be tho ......

    i was worried about that but i dont really notice it being much harder, i dont spend alot of time lookin down there unless im dianosing something but if i knock it lights up so i know and i hardly ever look at my gauges the boost is gonna get taken out eventually for a AEM UEGO since i can read boost on the aero anyway, my tuner will like this location pretty convienient for the pass.

    i wanted to do this, if you have any info on it please let me know. i was toying with the idea of having all green gauges and lights not too long ago, has it been done?

    and boost, if i'm reading that right, you need to get gas

    I didn't mean the stock guages. I meant the guages you add on afterwards.

    I think you have to change the face plate to change colours.
