Re:Stealth gauges

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

Is someone parting out knight-rider ??

Re:Stealth gauges

^ 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 ***, but definately sleeper. I've seen a few supras done up like that.

Re:Stealth gauges

Knight rider, good one.

Like I said, it looks like crap but it's closer to what I want then this:

This car is my cars polar opposite

Yikes. Anyway, maybe I'll build something into the glovebox, that's the easiest way.

Re:Stealth gauges

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.

Re:Stealth gauges

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.
