Default What you think of the custom gauge pod in the making Gen1

Here is apicture of the gauge pod I have been working on. When it is done it will sit above the double vents in middle of the dash and will house the boost gauge, water temp, oil pressure, and air and fuel mixture.
So let me know what you think of it so far. as far as the finshed look undesided. You can give some ideas. The color of the interior it dark charcol grey. I thought about cf but don't not if I could get it to lay right with the texture of it

It looks sweet. For color imo id paint it the same color as the dash so it looks like it came factory that way. I was never a big fan of cf but thats me tho everyone has there own opion.
