Default Boost gauge installed (console)

First if you can call it "mod" of the car - boost gauge. After debating on where to install the gauge (it was laying connected in my glove compartment for the past 2 weeks) I decided to mount in in the center console.

Here it is:



At night:



Upclose:



And making it - trimmed stock shroud, little ABS plastic patching, bondo, bondglass, paint etc...





The bulb is bright enough, but does not give enough light to the lower part of the gauge, so this weekend will replace with 2-3 LEDs

Very nice.

I don't like the air vent location, so me and my friend were thinking that it would be cool to put maybe 3 gauges in a row in a custom fabbed pod to match rest of the console placed right in that spot where the trim narrows underneath the vents, but above the head unit area. I wasn't sure what to make the 3rd gauge (I had oil pressure and boost picked out), and I couldn't find anything that matched the gauges in the gauge cluster.

Nice job, looks very clean. If I had that style interior I would go that route for sure.
