2-1/16'' Gauge In Camaro Dash Cubby I am thinking about installing a 2-1/16'' Autometer Oil Temp gauge into the useless cubby infront of the shifter of my 2002 Camaro SS. Has anyone ever done this or have any pictures. I was going to use black ABS plastic.

Here's what I did.
People have used the plates that the convertibles use and put a gauge in that.
Demonbird is one of them. Do a search for posts by him. He recently posted another picture of his setup.

Then I molded it in.
In this pic I had major problems with adhesion, as you will see.

I would HIGLY recommend electrical... Mechanical might not even give you a long enough feed.
I used a convertible switch plate for a more factory look... The convertible switch is my bottle opener.

Is there anyway to make it so the convertable switch opperate the light of the gauge (on/off) or is it the kind you have to hold down? How much did it cost? Thanks

that looks bad ***, i really hate that stupid cubby bullshit. i like how the guages look like the first gen gauges right there next to the shifter, although these are only two gauges compaired to the 4 on first gens, it looks at home there, specially with the white face overlay. definatly going to do that...just need to figure what guages
