Default Turbo'd Accord owners. Help

Looking for pics of your gauge set-ups to give me an idea as to where to mount mine. Gen 5's please.
Searched previous threads, but no pictures are working.
I want to keep them as low key as possible (Do not want to use a gauge pillar).
Thanks

my gauges are all in the center console... I took the pocket out below the radio, moved the radio down and cut a piece of abs trim plastic for my gauges. no pics online to show you sorry.

nothing is on my pillars or easily seen thanks to some light tint on the windows and black gauges placed where I did. same with my wideband, it is made into the dash and not noticeable unless you see it on while car is running.

everything is tucked away so it looks like a normal accord with a mild drop and a shiny thing in the front end...

Pretty much what I am after except my intercooler is going to be black.
I completely understand not wanting to advertise it online. Would it be possible to e-mail me a pic. If yes, PM me and I'll send you my e-mail address.

Anyone else have a pic for an example?

I wanted to go in the same direction as you with my 5th gen gauges. i hate pillars but i think i'm going to use them just because it's the quickest fix and i havn't driven my car in a long time with this turbo install. sorry i know it wasn't helpful lol

i wish this came for 5th gen !!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...41199&

thats what i wanted, but had to go this route instead



i hate the pillar, doesnt seem like it would but it obstructs my view to the left big time, especially at night ! ! I'd like to see other guage setups too not too much to offer our accords in this dept.

Appreciated. Thanks!
I know there's a ***** load of boosted CD6's on HT.
I'm thinking of removing the upper steering column cover and possibly working something like this into it. I'd trim it down some so it wouldn't obstruct my view of the dash face though.

i've also seen before where someone relocated the fan blower position and a/c button and either put a vafc or apexi boost controller there.

i believe it does fit

Almost finished. Of course, now I need a place to install a deck.
