well here is the scoop... i am going turbo pretty soon on my f23 auto, and i want to kinda hide my gauges. I tried to search but nothing came up. So i was wondering if yall could post some pics of your gauges if they are "hidden". thanks yall.

 

well... if i knew how to post a pic on this forum, i'd show you how mine are sitting beneath my cd player

 

Not exactly what you're asking for, but let me just mention that generally hidden guages are useless guages. You want to be able to actually monitor the guage when you're in boost, which is pretty hard to do when the guage is in your glove box or under your stereo....

 

i think he means that he doesn't want them to be visible to other drivers. i still need to rig up a little flap for my gauges. i want mine to be hidden but accessible so that i can use them to tune, but when i have passengers... they don't know what they've just gotten into

 

if they havent already seen your IC or heard the BOV somewhere along the line

 

gauge bezel

 

Here is mine. I have another gauge on the other side in the same place.

if i had an integra, i'd put them where that clock is. or a vafc there.

i put 3 autometer gauges in my center AC vents. it's clean as hell and a lot of people don't notice it.

 

Just turbo'd my F23 - here is my gauge setup:

 

when i first boosted my car i wanted to have a stealth gauge setup

i temporarly had the gauges mounted on the A pillar ( felt like a ricer)

however, their so easy to see when driving that i wouldnt want it any other way

i dont wanna have to look at my glove box or radio at 10 psi in 4th gear

 

People keep balling me out about this setup but I love it. I still have my stock oil pressure light to tell me if things go bad and the EGT is peak hold. Oh, and the profec b is setup to switch w/ I pull on my windshield wiper arm

anyone have any pics of gauges where the factory radio is? I was thinking about relocating mine down by the cup holder or in my armrest, just wondering.

 

I used to have that, but didn't like it. You can't easily see the gauges while driving (not like I can now either w/ my above setup).

 

00SilverLS i love that set-up. that is exactly what i need! Haha ok the reason why i asked this post is because i dont want my dad to know that i have turbo... he doesnt ever drive it, but im sure once he drives it he will know. But before then, i need to keep them hidden. perfect idea 00SilverLS...if any of yall have suggestions on where i should put them, let me know

 

silverls, that is a beautiful setup, especially the boost controller switch

is anyone going to tell me how to post a pic? i couldn't find a help portion and i searched...

whats the name of the material used again?

 

i made the nitrous switch panel out of a piece of plastic sheet (zippy's tray ) to prototype it. i have a carbon fiber sheet that i was gonna use to re-make it, after the test fit, but i never felt the need to re-do it after i put it in...

 

i have them mounted flush with the plastic piece that goes around the radio and the gap beneath. i just need to mount the boost controller switch somewhere and create a solid plate with spring hinges to put over the gauges.
