Default 2 5/8" guages in Center vents on 99 Camaro
Will the 2 5/8" guages fit in the center vents on the 4th gen camaro just like they do on the trans am? I want to mount my tranny temp guage there. If not where is a popular place to mount guages for the Camaro?

I have never really been a big fan of the pillar. Was curious if anybody had fabbed up a way to mount them in the vent area even though the vents are not round like the trans am.

Not thinking that would work so well. I'd just go with a pillar.

I can see something working with 2-1/16th gauges, but not 2-5/8ths

That looks pretty good too. What did you use to make that plate that the guages are mounted in and how did you secure it up there?
