Default Pics of gauges in vents please

Looking for pics of gauges installed in the center air vents on 4th gen camaros.

Looking to fabricate something myself maybe out of abs plastic or if it's cheap enough buy something already made. Just looking to install a temp gauge and engine temp gauge.

Any pics, diy, suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

I did find this one.

Even though I don't have a/c I still can use it.

And found this one.

I think it's for the a/c vents.

Hopefully the gauge I have is 2 1/16" and not 2 5/8".

Where did you get the carbon fiber piece? I don't need vent holes..

Also how is the quality on the plastic piece?

I made the pieces myself. The quality is great on the plastic, it just didn't match well with the CF.

Thanks! I saw where someone cut out holes in there vents with a dremel and placed the gauges there. I may try that, if I destroy the vents then i'll get some abs plastic and make my own.

Off subject but what hub adapter and wheel are you running. I like the looks of that hub.

I'm thinking of putting my gauges in the vents, since my cage blocks the pillar ones.

I just ordered a couple gauges today. I think I'm going to cut out the center of my vents and place my gauges inside fhe vents. If I screw them up I'll get a plastic sheet and make something my gauges go in.

I'm thinking about getting rid of the A-pillar 3 pod and putting my gauges in the center vent section too. I'll just remove the vents and put them right in the hole. No need for anything else.
