/\/\/\ - I totally agree

But, dont change ur car just b/c other people do not like the same; if you like it, than keep it.

I still don't understand why people put a 5" tach in, when the one they have works just fine...but too many gauges all of the place for me..

Well props for the nice installation of them, but I personally would have gone with a guage pod.

i said rice for 3 reasons (nevermind the messyness... that means nothing)

1 - windshield sticker (typical rice)
2- steering wheel (it's a bit much although if you like it and it feels good it's not necessarily rice)
3 - monster tach (those things are overplayed, although they are necessary in some cars).

i guess what i'm trying to say is whatever you do, lose the windshield decal

IMO most of those guages aren't needed its there for the "bling" factor, I would say a oil pressure, boost guage and engine temp are all thats needed if you have boost . It just gets too cluttered and looks nasty.

Edit: where are you supposed to sit

i dont think that tach or gayfuel ratio is needed. that thing isnt even accurate or even worth having. Its just an xmas light going back and forth. If you want a airfuel monitor get an o2 wideband. And why on earth do you need that huge tach there when u have the stock one there?...it came with one stock so u wouldnt have to put that horrible rice tach on there.

how is a windshield sticker "typical rice". Some people are actually required by sponsors to rep a company, or maybe they have a club. Yea, full windshield covering banners are obnoxious, but judging a car by its windshield sticker?

you could look at ten other things in the interior that are worse than that

Way to much clutter...way to much. I would have opted for a much cleaner install...looks kinda *****-nilly to me right now.
