Gauge mounting options?
I ended up going ahead and ordering it but I just got a single pillar pod and some paint to paint it to match. I guess I will do it like this.
I also went with this gauge. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
I got the green light for it. I know there are others that are a closer match to the factory which I want but I just didn't like how they looked with the black backgrounds so I just went ahead and got this one. I have 2 of these in another car. Well, not the transmission temperature but a boost gauge and a water temp gauge in the Honda and like them a lot. I got them for free from a buddy. I bought a stereo and he said I could have those with it since the car had a blown motor. Anyway, I got them and sold the stereo for what I paid and just kept the gauges. I liked them so know I will like these. Can't wait to get it and see how it looks.
BTW when I paint the pillar to match should I clear coat it or will it look too shiny if I do that? I'm afraid it wont match with a clear but afraid it will flake off and just look and feel bad if I don't put a clear coat on it to protect it. How do you guys think it will look? I kind of like the setup Silver has but I don't like how it blocks the speedo. It looks like it would block more than 0-5mph that's why I didn't like it but I guess it's the angle. I will leave that option open for future gauges.
