Default Need your boost gauge oppinion

Does anyone with gray interior think the pod/housing of this boost gauge would match the interior.. Its kind of a black/grayish color and i dunno if it will look weird, i want the housing to match the vents as close as possible..

I think the vents in our cars are always black, right? Even with tan interior...

I might be making this up.

Yeah I have the same interior as you, I have seen your gallery, but this pod looks a little two tone- darker than our gray and lighter than black like your DIY pod. Anyway I cant wait to get it. Ive had my car on a 300 mile road trip this weekend and it did great. I love the way it is so responsive in 5th gear going 70-80 mph.. All the passing power you need just in 5th gear. I got an average of 27 mpg which is good... My father in law drove it and was amazed.. Hes been telling us we drive a yuppy car..

You could always take out the gauge and paint the housing.
