Cool My New 5-Gauge Main Console

Here's the new 5-gauge main console I made -- the product of many lonely evenings spent sanding in the bathtub. It was worth it, though, because the panel is a perfect fit. The gauges are SPA Technique dual-digitals, and they're countersunk. I had the panel painted Tarmac Black to match the car.

Actually it looks like 4 EGT gauges to me... one for each runner in the manifold to monitor individual temps

You're right, I should have installed a video monitor instead so I could watch "2 Fast 2 Furious" and play GT4. Seriously though, I don't really focus on the gauges unless one of the threshold warning lights goes off.

It looks good. The only problem I have is that you have to look down to see the gauges, that's why I put my greddy peak/warnings on the dash. It's much safer that way imho. The quality of the gauge pod is top notch though and it does look really good.
