Radio Gauge Panel

nice, can you adjust the angle to face towards the driver? if you can, i'd buy one! :icon_tup:

looks pretty cool

smokie700 03-19-06 06:36 AM

how's the glare? From the pics it looks like you can't read anything during the day

tjeter 03-19-06 07:42 AM

Looks like those might be some of the cool digital ones that black themselves out when off, that might explain why you can't read anything.

Cool gauge panel though....sweet yellow shirt too. :P

it IS facing the driver. lol

91s5narx 03-19-06 02:33 PM

i built it out of fiberglass resin. they do face towards the driver. yeah the glare was pretty bad in the pics, i didnt notice them until after i posted them. the gauges have a tint face so it makes them hard to read when off. still have to hook them up to see how good they look when lit up. if people are interested maybe i could make some and sell them. lets see if i can get some interest.

Alex6969 03-19-06 02:35 PM

how much do you want them for?

91s5narx 03-19-06 02:47 PM

o wow, i dont really know. would 50 be to much? without the gauges obviously

tjeter 03-19-06 02:50 PM

i'd do it...but can you give us better views? i can't tell if they kinda of curve up or not i can't tell sorry, but dude they look awesome!

here are a few more, if they dont show you what you like please tell me and ill get it for you.

RX710thAE 03-19-06 03:18 PM

yeah that's a good deal....i'd buy one!

tjeter 03-19-06 03:18 PM

How's the visibility? from the driver seat? thats what i'd really like to see but i know thats kinda hard to show through a picture.

91s5narx 03-19-06 03:27 PM

the visibility is good. around like 10 to 12 oclock or so you cant see the band on the gauge but can read the numbers. is that what you ment?

88rxn/a 03-19-06 03:49 PM

very cool!! i like the rotor effect !!!

91s5narx 03-19-06 03:58 PM

yeah i liked how in the rx-8 the rotor was put throughout the car so i wanted the same for my 7. hopefully this is just the first of many.

tjeter 03-19-06 04:01 PM

I think i get what you're saying i just meant from the driver perspective are the numbers visible so you don't have to look directly down to view the gauges.

91s5narx 03-19-06 04:02 PM

yeah

EffSee3 03-19-06 04:02 PM
