It is a nice place to locate the gauges, but of course, they AC would be much less effective, and you may run into problems if you ever have to take apart the dash to get to your cluster.

Also, is there any reason you need those specific gauges? I agree with OIL PSI gauge because our "CHECK OIL" light doesn't come on until the pressure drops to 10 PSI, but I don't really see the reason for the volt meter.

But I agree, when done, that would look sweet.

i want to be able to keep an eye in my voltage, cause of the loud stereo, i wanna make sure im not dropping too low, plus it never hurts to keep an eye in things

Ok, I understand, I didn't know you had a system.

Good Luck!

the only hard part is gonna be runing wires... and it gets really hot in detroit so you should put that into consideration

i will always have all the other vents (foot, outer front dash and the windshield vents) so it dont think it will be too bad

just remeber if you are going to get an oil pressure meter that you will need to get an oil pressure sensor to replace the OEM oil pressure sensor you have... the OEM one simply gives a warning light whenever the pressure drops too low and that won't be a sutable input signal for the oil pressure gauge.

Why not just do pillar gauges? Would look more aggressive and still clean.

my mom doesn't have pillar gauges

I've seen lots of cars with gauges built into the dash, so it's not something different either.

yeah but when everyone sees pilar guages on an import they automaticly assume that you are out to race, im not, my car is stock (except for intake) so i dont want to have lots of people trying to race me when im only on my way to k mart
