Upper dash gauge mount qustion

I have an 06 Evo Mr and I want to mount my gauges on my dash. I found two different carbon fiber upper dash gauge mounts but need help. The only two I found are from carbontrix and machevo. I want to know what it looks like with the Mr carbon fiber dash strip. If anyone could show me some pics or give me some suggestions that would be great. Thanks

are you talking about the gauges that come in the car?
if you are, you can switch them with the radio and it fits perfect. ive done it to my MR
looks good and you can actually see the gauges when u drive

Gruppe S sells a pretty nice panel. I've tuned a couple cars that have them installed and the fit and finish rivals the stock panel. its not CF but matchs the rest of the interior.

Theres also a radio relocation kit to put the radio down in the cubby.

I already have the radio relocation kit but was looking to get the carbon fiber dash mount for my defi gauges. Right now I do have the stock ones in but trying to switch them but need different dash mount.

Yes you do if you want your radio lower and your gauges higher. The gauges are at the bottom in a mr and I already have my radio relocated to the lower panel.

I think what he was saying was that the MR already comes with a radio relocation.. since the oil temp, volt, and boost are all in the lower cubby from the factory.. which is a relocation for the radio if you switch it.

I just got the Gruppe-S panel for my MR and it is a very nice piece! I received it very quickly and it fits like OEM. I would definitely suggest this piece! The carbon fiber pieces I have seen are not worth the $ IMO.. At 99.99 for the Gruppe-S panel.. You really cannot beat it!

I do like the Gruppe-S but was hoping to get some pics to see how the carbon fiber looks.

Wow that looks great with the defi's in there. I will certainly consider going with that setup, when I get gauges.
