That doesn't get a second glance around here. And for the gauges, just find a 3-gauge pod you like, and find gauges you like. Its pretty much entirely personal preference, as they pretty much all work the same, except the super expensive ones like the new autometer setup Aaron has. My only seggestion is make sure that they are electrical gauges and not mechanicalk. With mechanical gauges you have to route oil and coolant up the the back of the gauges, and I don't think having hot engine fluids inside the cabin is a good idea.

I'm not a fan of A pilliar pods, and I'd like to keep my idiot lights, they might prove to be useful some day.

There's another option. You can remove the center vents in the dash and put a gauge panel there, there's room for 3 gauges. It's not too far out of your line of sight compared to some other gauge mountings I've seen. My dad's Miata has gauges in the center vents and it's a pretty good place to put them IMHO.

You can get a universal DIN style 3-gauge holder on the e-gauges.com site. You can also re-locate the idiot light cluster if you want the 5one5 pod.

Maybe I'd actually be able to see it during the day time. Damn sun glare on that plastic kills me.
