I want to get some ideas on how to mount my gauges, what looks best. I was wondering if you guys can show me yours so I can see how you guys have them mounted in your dash, or your pillar... Or whatever.

Those IN DASH CLUSTER BEZELS for my 99 Civic Si are about 60 bucks. Seems kind of much and I'm looking for a alternetive. How much to guage mounts cost? Can I see yours?

I'm getting DEFI gauges as well so if you had pics of that.. that would be sweet.

THankyou..

 

I don't have pics, but I've got three gauges in a pod on my A-pillar, a 5" Tach on the right side of my console, an EGT next to the Tach and a Fuel press. on the hood. Oh yeah and a boost gauge directly in front of my stock water temp sensor (it's blocking it since I have an Autometer water temp and the stock one sucks anyway). My boost, EGT, and fuel press. are in autometer mounting cups cause three of those are cheaper than one of the dual bezels.

Crappy images but...

 

My guy just got my shipment in from japan. I'm getting close and closer to boost, I can feel it (Oh yeah, lucky you, I got defi also)

 

mine





oh and yes everything works

That's a very clean and nice setup. Damn I should try to get that done. What is the carbon fiber piece? Is that custom or a part that you bought then just trimmed.

 

no i made that, just got a peice of glass and laid some resin down, added some autometer gauge cups to it and there you go, custom gauge panel, i actually adjusted in alittle bit since that picture just havent updated the photo......it now goes all the way to the corners, so there is no black triangles in the corners anymore.....

i know there are a few places that sell sheets of carbon fiber and all you hav to do is trim it, i dont know the website right now but ill try and find it

 

How much was the piece. It's a simple and effective way to mount gauges. I really don't want to mount my guages on the pillar.

 

um i made that part with peices of carbon fibre i got from my hood guys, but to buy a peices like that i dont see it being more than $20-$30

 

do a search ....... pics were posted a couple weeks ago.

 

I like that ^^^ a lot.

Here's mine, simple enough.

 

How do you guys mount your bigger gauges like the greddy 60mm, cause I dont' think they'd fit in the pilar mounts right?

BTW, where did you guys get the DEFI gauges, are they cheaper than greddy? I really dont' want autometer but my shitty income while I'm in college doesn't allow me to spend 800 on the 5 gauges I want!!

Mine are pretty boring, just regular pillar mounted.

 

Here's my ghetto setup before I had it mounted nicely in my old Si.

M
It was just a little dual guage pod I mounted in that little pocket. Worked just fine, and no other cars could see them

 

 

These are nice pics, but does anybody have pics of their Defi gauges setup?

 

Damn those gauges are nice, are they the 52mm or the 60mm? I take it that's the autometer piliar mount?

 

xs engineering is practically out of all the Defi guages. Now what the hell do I do? I wanted PSI also but they don't have ANY of those.

 

edit for the ingrate snafu-si
