nice

kinda awkward to look down there?

but mine is on my pillar with no cover, and some would think that it's ugly

yours looks pretty clean

funnily, I put mine in over 2 years ago but never got around to wiring the spark

does yours illuminate? if so where did you wire it to?


PS how is the Peg? Skeeters a problem yet? Summer is here now, but the rockies are still convered in snow

Summer is just happening here. Finally getting some temp into the 20s!! WHOOT

As for the wiring. I used my moded radio harness to give it power. So Ground wire and 12v+ wires. You can very easily find the radio wiring diagrams.

Yes it is kinda crappy that you have to look down, but i was not after always looking at it. I wanted to make a gauge setup that looks nice and as stock as humanly possiable.

Awesome job! I wanted to do something similar except I wanted the guage to be digital. It is perfect down there. It is not like you need to stare at it all day. As long as you can look over at it sometimes to make sure things are fine your good!

If you want to make it a little more visible you can move the radio down and put the gauge on top. Just be sure you can load a CD with the car in park, I know it will fit with the manual but not sure about the auto.

Here's mine with the wide band down there (my boost gauge is built into the cluster). At some point I think I will build something that looks a little more factory and add a second gauge, but this works good for now.
