Gauge mounting ideas.....
i searched, theres been a few in the past, alot of them are pretty old.
I want to get some feedback from people who mounted their gauges off the pillar. Also if you can state how visability is? Thanks.
Any really creative mountings out there?

on the pillar the visibility is fine.. I've been inside a turbo eg and you can see (he has) all 3 gauges fine. You can custom fit gauges around your radio/cd player area.. I know a few ppl that will do it for some $$ on H-T.com

Ya im trying to keep them off the pillar, thats the thing. I can do the radio section install myself but im just looking for some different ideas and how they look.

Re: Gauge mounting ideas..... (noss88)
I am really happy with the autometer 3-gauge pod that mounts on the dash.
see previous post for installed pic..
1 for the tach, 1 for the oil pressure and 1 for the oil temp.
THe way it mounts REALLY SUCKS..
I ended up screwing it directly into the dash...
but I like it

Im guessing from the pic in your avatar that you have a CX hatch?...
If thats the case, you can mount them where the passenger airbag would be. My friend has them mounted there in his hatch, and it actually looks pretty sweet.
Im not too sure how well he can see them all though

First of all, its not a "gauge pod" that goes across/on his dash. They are mounted IN the dash...
And second of all...behind the seat and on/across/in the dash are a LITTLE different....just a tad. You can still see them, but its not like right up on you like a triple gauge pod across the pillar would be.

i was talking about this...
ya im sure you can SEE them if there put directly into the dash where the airbag was, but its pretty out of the way for my taste. although they look pretty cool mounted there i think.
hmm i need to sit in my car for a while.

This is how my ek is setup...yes, its kinda artsy-fartsy, but you get the idea
Visibility is great, its no different than if I wanted to check the time.
Also...its a lot better looking than silly pillar pods
You could do the same, if you moved your radio to another din (as with the optional audio console, for example)

Re: (pdiggitydogg)
what are some good gauges that won't cost you and arm and a leg and a nut like autometer?

Re: Gauge mounting ideas..... (mitsuman)

Looks WAY better in person, its not finished yet.

Need to do the finishing touched like actual mounting and cleaning up the edges, o and the lights are for some switches i will be wiring up. they go on if the switch is on (duh)
