no, thats why you spend a lil more money and get a boost gauge with a warning led, then look @ the peeks on the other gauges :P

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.

Is someone parting out knight-rider ??

^ Thats what I was thinking.

About the guages in the glovebox, you angle them towards yourself. You have to look over at them which is a bit of a pain in the ass, but definately sleeper. I've seen a few supras done up like that.

That looks clean, would look even better with black faced gauges, but clean anyway. Unfortunately the EG doesn't have quite as big a spot as that on the dash.

If you got money to dish out you could go with one of these http://www.defi-shop.com/product/con...ncept_top.html
I think you have to get a bunch of stuff to get it to do what you want.
