I like it! BUT, will it interfere with the pillar airbag function?

No, I sculpted it with that in mind. I have a few pics that I'll post later.

First pic is of me placing the gauge location with the A-pillar fully extended.

This pic is of the sculpted shape to accommodate the A-pillar

The last picks show the gap between the A-pillar and the gauge pod.

I wish I knew how to fiberglass. I love it when people say "**** it" about the current market options and make something on their own

I like the idea! still prefer steering wheel mount, but don't let my opinion stop you

I'm probably at 4hrs not including drying time. I do it as a hobby. But thank you for ur concern.

BTW I get what ROI is, for my real job I run a 90M+ a year business for a 500B+ a year company.

Nice set-up. Maybe you misunderstood my questions intent? I was more interest in the purchase of the fruits of your labor if you were so inclined and the turn around time. i.e. if some ppl said "oh wow man sweet set up where can i get one" would you be willing to trade some of your time for some paper. i do enjoy some nice craftmanship
