Quickie gauge question
how do you guys think a single 60mm boost gauge would look inside the fd?? is it really noticeably bigger than the 52mm? im thinking of putting the blitz blm boost gauge in it, but they only come in 60mm sizes. thanks for your feedback!

My only issue would be it's harder to find gauge pods for 60mm gauges than for 52 mm ones. Other than that, there's really no reason to go for one over the other.

After having had both, I prefer the 60mm for "primary" gauges. They're really not a whole bunch bigger, all things considered, but they typically are a bit clearer and easy to read.
Not sure on the FD's gauge pods, but the FC A-pillar gauge pods could EASILY be opened up with a Dremel to fit a 60mm gauge. Takes all of 5 minutes, and the end result looks great.
Also, the pods that go where the center speaker goes come in 60mm versions -

Dunno about the RE Amemiya style steering column mount, though.
