I had one of those Single Autometer A-pillar bezels that was never going to be put to use because I wanted to keep the A-pillar as clean as possible due to the theives and ricers that prowl the streets nowadays. Anyways, I found a couple places where I could 'modify' the bezel and fix it a couple places in my interior and have it keep pretty good visibility. Here're pictures:



I sanded the edge so it was round on that one side , so that's the only minor flaw. But it's flush and fits well. It's attached to just a single vinyl piece about 12" by 3" in area. I might try to make a better one out of fiberglass or some material some day. But for now, It'll do.

 

good idea!

im might have to take that idea from you. does it get in the way w/ your leg and gas pedal?

I hate to bring back an old thread but Im wondering the same thing. Does it get in the way of your right leg?

 

it'd get in the way for me.

 

seems like it would definantly get in the way of your leg, but a cool idea none-the-less. Another "good" spot is the glove box IMO. just pull it open when you want to monitor stuff, and close it when you dont want the gauges to be seen. be sure to tilt the gauges toward the driver's seat so they can be more easily read.

 

good deal man... Im in the process of making a custom 'glass piece for the center console... Actually ima make a mold using the stock pieces and try my hand at carbon fiber if the 'glass comes out nicely

 

looks good...do you have problems bumping it with your leg or anything?

it is on there somewhere. Stick a pick of ur GF over it to hide it (since like everyone around here puts a pick of their GF over the tach , it blends in)
