Carbon Fiber & Aeroforce scan guage for the LT1...Pics Well, I finally decided where I wanted to put the Aeroforce gauge in the WS6. I was looking for a way to make the guage look like a factory deal. Actually took quite a bit of time to custom make all the little pieces to fit this guage in the drivers side A/C vent.
Pic of the sheet of Carbon Fiber:
I then proceeded to figure out my dimension and cut-out the carbon trim ring using a scroll saw at low speed. This peace actually sits down inside of the A/C vent hole and hold the guage from the front:
Cut-out a matching piece for the rear of the A/C vent made from 3/4 MDF:
Then made a backing plate for the guage out of 1/8" flat aluminum and then polished the item:
Pic of the Aeroforce scan guage. It looks at 27 different items on a LT1 through the OBD II port. I purchased one of the last special edition PONTIAC Aeroforce guages
When you initially start the car after 5 seconds or so the PONTIAC logo shows up on the screen and then the guage starts.
Shot of the back with the MDF donut ring and backing plate to hold the guage:
The final pic of the finished product. I can't believe how well this item looked as a finished product. If anyone has any questions on doing any of this please PM me for details. This was a pretty tedious process to get it to look factory, but well worth it in the end.

Thanks for all the comps on the work !
PipesT/A: It was just a little crooked
I adjusted it just for you 
LT1BRN: The guage is alot like the oldschool LT1 scanmaster that alot of guys would mount in their LT1 camaro A/C vent to the right of their gauge pod. The Aeroforce Interceptor guage measures 27 different item by simply plugging into the OBD II port and you supply it with a 12v switched source.
Some of the items it monitors: O2's, Knock Retard, battery voltage, TPS, TPS angle, MAF Lbs, Coolant, IAT, etc. to name a few. This is a very cool guage with alot of useable info. You can also do a recorder mode that will record up to 45 seconds, so you can review you run at the drag strip. It also can be used as DTC (diagnostic trouble code) identifier & remover.

I have a 95z and i have the primitive version of obd2. You can hook up a Tech2 to it fine and it has the obd2 hook up, but i guess it doesn't give quite as many readings. Anybody know if I would be able to use that gauge???
