I was bored today and needed a project so I wondered how the Gauges would look installed in the CRX Si dash. Still have some trimming and stuff to do for a perfect fit but I think they look pretty decent.

 

i only wonder how you are gonna look at them and drive at the same time??

 

Yeah, usually if you put them over on the passenger side you want to put a little angle on them so they face you in the driver's seat.

 

I probably would of searched for a more convenient place to put them, but I guess it looks alright.

 

You can see them fine from the drivers seat,especially when lit up.I think they look good.

 

imo you ruined a perfectly good dash, for gauges that could have been put in many other, more visible, locations...

Agreed....

 

I guess if your the "I like to show off my gauges" type then it's cool.

I would have put them somewhere else, lower and closer to the driver.
Or actually in the console somewhere.

 

Whatever floats your boat, I think they look like *** .

 

I think it adds to a plain old eighties dash that otherwise wasn't much to look at in the first place.I have a pillar gauge pod that has 3 of the same gauges in it,along with a boost gauge in the center console.Guess you have to see the whole interior.Comes together pretty nicely.

 

speaking in general-I never understood the hole oodle of gauges spread throughout the car thing. There's no way you can keep your eye on them while driving. I put mine low, centered and close , but I don't look at them while driving on the open road usually.

I know what you mean,it's more for looks anyway.It gives it a more updated look in my opinion though.

 

well first off gauges can be looked at while in a parked position and still be acurate on what they determine such as oil temp and water temp., you dont have to be in motion for them to give you proper info, and second, ive seen them mounted in that location before and i dont think it looks bad but its more for the full out track or race car then an every day driver

Hell yeah

Nice gauge choice + nice placement.

The OPs look good as well. I wouldn't have the guts to cut my dash up though. For now I stick to mounting my gauges in individual pods on the dash.

 

slystones look a lot better in my opinion.
