Nay from me, looks way too far for a quick glance. Have you thought of something like this? It is very easy to see.

nice creativity. but yeah. i am not taking my eyes off the road. its not myself that im scared of. its the other ppl on the road.

so that would be a negative for me.

but really nice effort.

I really thought this would be a hit...does it look too cheap or is it the risk factor of it being mounted in a "dangerous" spot??

No matter where you install gauges you have to remove your eyes from the road unless its a digital display on the windshield

I never look at the gauges anyway. Mainly just there to let passengers have something to do.

Mine isn't the cubby, it is where the MR comes with the stock 3 gauges down there and bought a new delete panel to modify.

If you could make it a bit higher up in the cave, i think it would look at lot better. Subscribed to see end result!
