Stock-looking boost guage
Heres my custom stock matching boost guage. I think its the closest thing to stock i've seen. This started out as a project to embed the digital readout from a cyberdyne digital water temp guage into the face of an analog boost guage, with a custom face. I actually had it 90% pulled off when i realized that those digital watertemp guages are basically christmas lights, and terribly innacurate. It was shelved in favor of a PFC w/ water temp monitoring from the commander.
Along the way, i modified the donor PFS/SPI guage by milling the lip off, polishing it, and covering it with a trimmed an painted autometer bezel. The exposed polished ring matched the stock rings perfectly (pics don't even do it justice) and covering it w/ the other bezel gives it the "set in" look of the stock. Enjoy:

Bro, that is pretty tight!!! I have the SPI gauges too and the black bezel is the only thing keeping them from looking "stock". With the milled part they look great!!
