Looks a little cluttered. But damn, that's a lot of gauges!

Yeah, and don't forget the cost of installing all of those sensors.

You're right, the climate control overlays do look a bit off. I considered the stock pewter color, but I ended up going Tarmac Black to be different. I do like the way the black gauge bezels blend in, though.

Good point. It's too bad there aren't factory-looking, dash-top pod solutions for the EVO like the ones I've seen for Subarus:

Plus, if they have a peak memory feature, you can use that... but I don't know how those gauges work

WAY too busy... A for effort but those guages are all over the place and there are too many of them. If it floats your boat, then more power to you...

Yeah that's what I was looking for, but no one makes one so I just stuck them on the dash.

How do you keep your floor matts and carpet so damn clean? In the pics in post 1 it all looks new. I clean my car a lot, but mine don't look that new.
