I have a 1996 Civic hatchback CX and I'm doing a civic type r replica and I have a b16 motor with a greddy turbo kit and I was need to get a bunch of gauges and I was just wondering where everyone mounted theirs in there EK? Who sells amber gauges besides defi? Thanks posts pics please!

 

I put mine on a pillar mount...I think you can change the bulbs in most to give it the amber color you desire.

 

i plan on putting mine where the head unit used to be, i think 3 three 2" or 52mm gauges can fit there. you can also mount them in the glove box for stealthyness, would have to custom fab something.

i am just not a big fan of pillar gauge mounts, but would use them if i needed alot of gauges. you could also do dash mount pods as well

I put mine where the head unit is, looks really clean. Fits 3 quite nicely.

cool, the only one i have seen was custom done, didnt know someone was makin em

 

i have the autometer gauge bezel the replaces the oem one in front of the cluster.



i like it because its un-noticeable from far.

 

i bought one of those cluster pods for my two important gauges (boost and oil pressure) then got some ABS plastic, cut it double din size and cut 3 2/16 holes. wrapped it in CF. It looks good but I decided to not go turbo so I have to find something to fill that up

 

I love gauges but they just attract too much attention

yeah i really wish i could get one thing to show everything...

 

i took out my heater vent on the driver side next to the stering wheel where the dimmer switch is and flushmounted my auto meter tach there. then i flush mounted the shift light in the coin tray i just cut it out so the light can not be seen intill you let the door down. i wish i could post pic but i dont know how.

 

its ricy but w/e. Didn't feel like buying extra mounts or anything so i just used what came with my tach
