Thanks, it was not to hard to install cutting the wholes for the gauges was the hardest part.

I would like to first off go Hot damn, that is one nice, yet simple, custom project. What I am interested though is in how you did all the wiring and connections for the guages. Just out of curiosity's sake since I couldn't make it out in the picture, what guages do you have in the passenger area?

Second thing on my agenda - I congratulate you for being the first person ever who on their first post has said or done something constructive, metaphorically or literally.

I bet I'm the only one who doesn't like it.
1: It's reflective qualities could be crippling in the bright afternoon sun.

That might be a problem.. I wonder if brushing it or something like that to dull it some would help out..

Did you actually build this dash, or just cut the holes for it? I'm curious how you machined the ridge running along the top and front that seems to give it some added stability.

Also, why the MPH gauge?

That's a very nice dash, I was expecting a white painted dash with accents lol. More details, if you built it yourself very well done and in good taste.

Machined was a poor choice of words. How about "created."

The car is a 88 CRX HF, simple bolt ons and nitrous runs 12.8 in the quarter. Not the fastest but it is fun. As for the gauges it has fuel level, tach, speedo, nitrous, fuel pressure, air/fuel, water temp, and oil pressure. The wiring was not to difficult it was pretty simple I was told the speedo would not work with the cable I had but I said it was worth a shot, and it worked and is very accurate. The only thing we had problems with is the fuel level gauge no one makes fuel level gauges for Hondas so it is a little off but we have it set close enough so we at least know it is out of gas. It is a shop car we would have no problem recreating that dash if it was for a crx if anyone is interested let me know.
