Thanks..... Didn't take as long as I would have thought it would of either..... If you notice those gauges on the right are built into what used to be the HVAC controls..... It will fit three 2 1/16th gauges perfectly if you're careful..... I have two more going into where the radio was.... i'll have those pics soon.....

As far as the speedo is concerned yeah i don't need it. Timeslip will tell me how fast i'm going and on the street i'll just go as fast as everyone else...

Here is mine. The A-pillar has nitrous and fuel pressure. The radio slot has oil pressure and trans-temp. I will be adding a wideband AFR gauge under the nitrous switches.

I like Taubr Unit's setup. Does that cubby hole in front of the shifter just come off, or did you not have one, or you have to cut it off?? I'm going to have 3 sportcomp 2 1/16 gauges and I thought I would mount them in the hole, but yours is way cleaner looking.

yea, on mine the "box thing" is attached to the bottom as a whole. Its plastic welded to the bottom of the bottom part. I just took a lighter underneth it and it popped right off, and stayed clean and not ghetto looking. Then just mounted the gauges to the councel. I like it cause its out of the way and you dont have the "rice burner" look with gauges all over the place.
