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:

The defi that i've seen look more like stock than mine in one respect: the needle. Maybe i can frankenstien this thing a bit more and borrow the Defi needle. I may make a custom face for it someday, or embed a shift light in it.
