I run this setup from Gruppe-S as well... No ricey A-pillar gauages and no obstruction of view for the tach / fuel gauge on the steering wheel.

In all reality, the STi does come with a steering column mounted boost gauge from the factory, and it never bothered me too much...

Any one have pics of this in the 52 mm version with the auto meter gauges?

IMO they both look ugly. The stock gauges are not that great looking or accurate. Change them out for some aftermarket ones.

boost on steering column in its own gauge cup, not obstructing any cluster view...

and wideband, oil press, oil temp underneath the HVAC controls in the lower cubby using the autometer 3 gauge mount... FTW

as nice as the gruppe-s panel is, everyone and their mom has it. i like my setup better.

For another triple gauge/radio relocation option, check out 42draftdesigns.com. Rather than replacing the whole plastic surround, they make an aluminum panel, with 3 holes in it, that fits in the rectangular cutout where the radio was. It is finished in the same color as the plastic surround. I think its limited to 52mm gauges, which I prefer anyway.

Sorry no pix, see their web site.
