cool you have to admit that it does look heavy

Can you aim the gauges to your line of sight or are they basicly flat with the panel?

If he made an angled cut that would be hella-phat! (ghetto mode off) But seriously, see if he can cut something like that for 60mm guages angled towards the driver.

the problem is the 52 mm guages are all most too big to fit the opening in the stock dash panel. there is absolutely no way this panel would work with the 60 mm guages. unless there was someway to make a panel to attach to the dash panel and then install the guages, then snap the dash panel back on....i was trying to get the guage panel mounted with the guages in it and be able to put the stock panel back over top of it without modifications.

The "upper DIN" is where your stock radio is located. It is known as a "DIN" opening. I have forgotten what it stands for. So basically what is being offered here is a plate that will fill that hole and hold three gauges at the same time.

DIN stands for Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V. (German Institute for Standardization).

I really like the heavy-duty, industrial look of the panel. I probably would have countersunk the gauges a quarter-inch or so. Anyhow, very cool.

I'm having a little trouble seeing which Autometer's you used... boost, oil temp, and oil pressure?

Where do you put each sending unit?

I hate it that we have ultra high performance cars with no gauges!!!
