Default Interesting way to mount gauges

I thought I would show you guys an interesting way to mount gauges in the Integra. The pictures below show Speedworks801's integra. Since the car was purchased as a wreck the pass side air bag was already deployed so he made the best of it. It was made from our cf RacePlates and a gear motor. Works at the push of a button. Props to you John it looks great!

Awesome, is it fully custom or are they selling it with a hefty price tag?

No I just gave hime some carbon fiber plates and he built it for a magazine shoot. But it goes to show what you can do with a little thinking. I don't think it was that complicated. But then again Johns pretty smart.

Thanks for the info. I don't think the passenger side airbag is gonna do much for the driver in an accident. Geez how do all of those racecar drivers survive accidents with no airbags.

BTW-This car is going to be in SCC in a few months. Photoshoot was last month.

do you have it hooked up to a electirc unit that raises all the gauges, or do you have to open up the gove compartment and manuely push it up unitl it LOCKS on to something or what? WTF

There is a button on the dash to open and close it. I don't have pics of the button but it's there. It goes up and down very smooth.

Looks very nice. You guys should make some air bar trags that mimic the OEM ones.
