Center Vent replacement gauge pod

Center Vent replacement gauge pod
I had a good idea last night. I've always wanted to replace those two rectangle center vents on the S1 and S2 interiors. Lately I've been playing with fiberglass a lot and I'm going to mock one up later on this week and take it to the Ohio RX-7 club meet on the 1st. Here's a quickly done photoshop of what I'm thinking of.
First thing is that I will make a mold of the radio surround shroud. Since both the radio surround and the gauge panel surround have this shroud it would make it look more stock.
I also hope to be able to put 3 gauges in there. I'm going to use my a-pillar gauge to mark the gauge holes and have them facing the driver.
Anyone else think this is a good idea? Any interest in copies if the mock up looks WAY better than my quickie photoshop?

Maybe not so much gauges are for ******, but you can't just have heat, vent, or A/C blowing on the back of your new gauge pod. I think Mantis was asking where would the feed to the vents go?

But as DriftFB said I was thinking more about the HVAC constantly blowing on the back of the gauges - that could potentially cause condensation problems or other issues, not to mention making the vent system overall less efficient at, well, venting.

yup exsactly at the moment i forgot to but the ducting back and if i have the heaster on my cluster foggs up it sucks
but overall its a good idea as where to mount gagues the look like they would be really visable iv seen some people mount them over by the glove box and they look hard to see
