I swear, if you're able to go to MFEST VI this year (dates released...Arpil 20th) you'd win best in show hands down all the fabrication you've done. plus i just want to see it up close! haha

The location is perfect. Right now the gauge pod is primer black, so it is not a match to the vents. I need to uninstall and paint it satin black; It will then look OEM.

I am very happy with the gauges. I set them up to be blue when bellow range, white when in range and red when above range. It's a nice visual that is easy to catch from the corner of your eye while keeping your eyes on the road.

Here are some pics of the current progress

Completely understand... I've driven my car about 3-4 times do far this year. I'm struggling to get anytime to myself, sometimes I feel kinda depressed about it, still..... It can only get better.

.....well, there's always hope.

hmm, i'd like to complement my stack gauge with a water temp and oil pressure gauge. I bet the sending units are expensive for them..
