Gauges for non smokers
I think I've seen gauges in the ashtray area before, but I'm not sure. They could've been below the stereo.
Anyone have these? As I recall, the area isn't that deep.
Got pics? What'd you use to mount them? What type of gauges did you use (Brand, Style, What does it measure, etc)?

I have an Autometer oil pressure gauge where the ashtray was in my rx3. Not sure the diameter, I think it's 2.25" or 2.5".
It's held in with a short piece of coat hanger looped under the guage and mounted with the 2 screws that held the slide for the ashtray. Without looking from under the gauge, u'd never know how it was mounted. This is the only pic I have.

I have 2 gauges and an EQ in the place of where my ashtray used to be. Basically cut out the ashtray area, took a sheet of plastic to cover the whole area and cut holes for a DIN stereo, EQ and 2 gauges. Covered the whole thing in carbon fiber overlay. I'll post some pics when I get home(at work now).

Looks good! I had an eq and radio like yours but it made the bezel to weak and it was flimsy so I went back to just a radio. What size plastic (thickness) did you use? Does it firm up the bezel a little using the plastic or is it just cosmetic?
