I just got done making my own for my boost gauge. It looks nice, but i'm switching to an a-pillar pod because looking down there to find how much i'm boosting is a bit of a pain in the *** while trying to concentrate on driving.

Does anyone know how to make one where the clock and the other lights are at? None of mine work so I'd like to put gauges there.

1FastT2 was selling these. I picked one up to support my plethora of guages.

The gauges should go above the stereo.

I was one of the first few to buy the Panel when the Guages came on the bottom of the Stereo. Prior to Installing It, I cut off the supportive brackets and flipped It 180 degrees and used heavy duty bondo to have It so It runs on top of the Stereo. It worked out quite nicely.

Even better yet, go to your local Saab dealer and you can order them. DIN sized panels that fit up to 3 gauges. They are $12 and will snap right into any DIN sized opening.

I can't remember the part number, but it's from an 80's Saab, you can probably have the parts guy help you out. I just installed mine last night, I'll put some pics up soon.

I got a plain black plastic panel from www.egauges.com

It was slightly to big (which is much better than being too small), so it just required a little bit of trimming.
