Ok, my oil pressure gauge (stock) is a POS. I am going to add an aftermarket gauge, but I dont know where. This is what I have now.



I am thinking the best place would be pillar. Opinions? Bitches? comments? Questions? Concerns? Complaints?

 

That would be the cleanest place to add another guage.

 

Yeah I am thinkinhg about just putting 3 up there. Maybe 2 egts, and a boost. then I can put the oil press. Water temp and AF (once I get my wideband) in the middle. I dont want to be all ricey, but I do like monitoring everything. I have 5% tint though, blocks out pretty much everything.

 

I prefer the pillar for your major gauges, as you don't have to look down while driving if you feel something is going on.

fuel/oil pressure + boost = the pillar

 

agreed with all of those opinions and the important one placed properly^^^

 

you can also place them around the cluster. Places like on the pod, or you could get a frog eye cover for over your cluster. You can also get the stillen guage holder that goes over your center vents. Look into that as well.

 

for the pillar i put oil pressure-water temp-fuel pressure

 

Sweet, and I got the wife to sign off on it too. Always good to have her blessing before I lay waste to our account, lol. Thanks guys!

Oh yeah ( I forgot to ask this, its 6 in the morn here) Anyhow. All the A pillar pods are black ABS plastic. I have a Tan interior. Not a huge fan of clashing like that. Now, what do I do to make it match? I dont know how good I am at covering items with material yet and that doemsnt seem like fun. Anyone know of a spray paint thaent matches?? (Not a great selection of paints here in Germany. They love black, silver and white)

 

yeah tan....way to be differnet hoe your happy now jp

 

Automotive paint suppliers can match colors pretty good. I dunno about germany, but the local mom-n-pop-shop guy that I use does a great job of matching colors. Then you'd have to find someone to spray it for you if you don't have the equipment.

It's 3:49 a.m. here.

 

What are you doing up so early?? The price for paint (auto) is rediculous here. I dont know, maybe I will have to clash for now. (Only 8 months left here)

 

Down my pot-o-coffee before off to work.

 

If you can cover it vinyl, it'd look great IMO. IT would take a lot of stretching and molding and glueing, etc. It just seems that a lot of those spray paints eventually flake off and look crappy.

 

if you can tfind paint...access some american places that sell paint, and ship it...well if they ship internationaly.

 

I am going to try the vinyl thing. Should work. I have a pretty decent heat gun and will do it in my Garage (read: Spare Bedroom) so it will be warm to begin with.

Eric- Most places wont ship liquids period over here, esp under pressure ones
