Thumbs up 94-95 SRS PAD Guage Pod.

Check out my new guage pod for 94-95 RX-7. They sit on top of the passenger SRS pad. If you are not using your SRS or your SRS is blown. This would be a great mod. Here are some photo shot.

Not a bad spot at all...I think I've seen something like this in RHD FD's. My biggest complaint is that it sticks out so badly, since the flat black clashes w/ the dash texture...

That is not a good place for a guages at all. It involves turning your attention almost a complete 90 degree from the road ahead and at that distance I'm not even sure 60mm guages would be clearly readable at a glance.

Stick with the A-pillar or center speaker pods.

I agree. Center speaker pod is the absolute ideal location for viewing gauges, and is vastly superior to the A pillar pod, and gauges way over on the passenger side are not easily seen.

I have a CF gauge panel where my passenger airbag once was.....and I agree, not the safest place for gauges while trying to pay attention to the road.
