make it your self. it is easy beyond belief. if you have the little tray under the stereo it just pops out, careful not to break it. if you have a hole saw use it if not buy one. here is a quick idea of what i'm trying to say.

before picture


once the tray cut out and a cardboard template


with the trim installed to see how it fit


used some scrap metal and just used electrical tape to leave it black. (didn't want to spray paint it)

Pretty awful visibility down there, hope this isn't for any gauges you need to monitor constantly...

it doesn't bother me, only takes about half a second if not less to look down. And I check the position of the needle I don't have to read the numbers, I already memorized where the needle should be.

It only takes a half a second to hit a tree or rear end the car in front of you.... You cover a lot more distance than you think at speed. I get your point, just saying, its not optimal.

you should hang the gauges right in front of your face for maximum visibility, while your at it put your climate controls and the radio there because looking at those for a second might send you off a cliff, dont dare open the center console to get anything or else the world may end

I built my engine right! The only gauges I look at are the gas gauge and tachometer

May I suggest a B2A Gauge Pod? I know its a bit of an old thread, but for anyone who may still be interested, I have developed a very rigid and easy to install pod assembly that snaps into place where the logicon control is mounted. Fits 52mm gauges and visibility is wonderful!

Check out the site for more info: built2apex

or just send me a PM for more details.

Here is a picture of one installed in my own FC time attack project. They come in a steel grey, mine is yellow (I have my reasons lol)

I have one, and I have water, oil press and feul pressure dow there. The guages are digital and blink when there is something wrong. So you dont really have to keep checking unless they are blinking.

Get a universal pod and put it up on your dash where your idoit lights go. I did that and don't regret it one bit. Two birds one stone, awesome visablity

Do the idiot lights serve a purpose? I haven't really looked at them. I know the car makes a "F U" beep if you mis-shift and rev high for a split second or are low on oil.

^ If you keep very good maintenance, you can do without them.


I put my boost gauge pod right in front of the tachometer. I'm able to monitor them very easily.

I bought this pod on eBay. $3.99 shipped from Hong Kong... Don't understand how they can do that, but whatever. Works great, looks great.

Just wanted to share mine, I think there autozone special. I double back tapped them to my A-pillar and then I dremmled out the back side of the A-pillar so the wires and hose had a place to go.
