Stealth gauges
 

I hate gauge pods, and for the most part I hate interiors littered with gauges. I know they are neccesary and I will need a Boost gauge, oil press., EGT etc but I don't want 6 little autometer gauges all over my a-pillar and dash, It would be nice to have a small LED disply in the coin holder spot that gives all this info, anybody an elec. engineer that can figure that out? Any other ideas? cheap ideas?

I have the same problem. I don't want a big ass gauge pod on my pillar so everybody sees it and thinks/knows I have ---- done to the motor. I haven't figured out where to mount them so they are still visable and functional. It sucks because the pillar is such a good spot as far as vision. Anywhere else you have to look down or away from the road. :-\

I was thinking about scrapping my entire stock gauge cluster and replacing with a 5" tach, EGT, Boost, oil pressure, and water temperature. The only downfall is I won't have a speedo, but the damn thing doesn't work anyways. :-\

Eliminating the stock cluster would be cool, but there goes the Stealth look. Besides I NEED a speedo. Although this looks cheesy, it does do what I want, it's just a bit pricey

If I could fit this under the stereo, it would be well hidden but still easily read, I like it much more subtle looking though.

I'm not a fan of digital readouts. With sweep gauges you can train your eye to know where it's at without looking directly at it.

Wow, those are pretty gay. If I had a Metro I wanted to pimp out I might go for that, but no.

put your gauge's in the glovebox duh, then pop it down when you start to drive, plus it wont attract thieves

Yeah, because the glovebox is in my direct line of sight when I'm driving. :P I thought the point of having gauges was so you could see what was going on?
