I had a 45mm water temp gauge fitted in mine, but the damn thing wouldnt work so i took it out again. It only took a small amount of dremelling around the edges for it to fit snugly in, without any need to secure it from the rear

I wish I could put gauges there. My wheel is too small and it blocks that area.

i started to take the dimmer **** out, but it seemed like it was breaking the bezel that pops out. so I didnt take it out yet but will most likely once I get the b00st gauge

the AEM UEGO gauge fits perfect.

Looks good in that location but how hard is it to see? I would imagine those wiper/light control arms blocking most of the view if not the steering wheel

I'll be honest, mine is purely cosmetic, the view is not perfect.
