Default My gauge holder for the Aeroforce intercepter gauge

I just wanted to share this gauge holder I made. Overall, the design is really simple, and works great. I added the leather covering just so it would match the shifter boot along with the seats.

Here are some pictures, pardon the slight mess:






that black wire goes to my gps, disregard that

and to those thinking about getting an aeroforce interceptor gauge, its a great investment if you like monitoring the usual car functions in a more casual manner.

I was going for a looser look, similar to the shifter boot.

If you get bored with the vinyl I'll give you one of these for $20 shipped...



...$10 discount just to help you out if you want it. It is 1/4" ABS and really solid.

i know you said you were going for a loose look, but it makes it look kinda cheap in my opinion.. I would tighten it up for a cleaner look...

yeah, tighten up that vinyl. It looks horrible that way. I know the look you were going for, but the look doesn't work IMO.

Like everyone else has said, it really needs to be tight leather.. With it being all loose makes it look like you didnt put too much time into it and makes it look like its cheap and out of place...
