My new GReddy 60mm gauges

Ahhh, I love my new gauges! I got the White 60mm GReddy Boost and EGT with warning and memory recall. I also got the a-pillar 2 gauge pod from Lancershop, which is a really good fit. I am very pleased! Now I just gotta figure out how to glue the speaker grill on, It's barely on there right now.

(Sorry, the pics kind of suck)

Here's a before pic with my old Autometer CF boost gauge:



Here's the new gauge pics and even a night shot, enjoy!

Tweeter cutout was pretty easy, just very messy.

I used an Xacto knife to mark where the hole goes, and then I used a drill to cut out the pattern following the lines I etched. It took me less than 5 minutes to cut out the hole, and then using the grill and the Xacto knife I trimmed the hole to make for a perfect fit. The only thing I haven't figured out is how to glue the grill to the pod. Superglue didn't do the trick, as the grill is barely hanging on there. I'm gonna try some model glue, that should work I think.

The link controllers are behind the cubby under the HVAC controls. I removed the cubby with the 2 screws at the top, then just pulled it out. There was some white fixture behind there, (i don't know the technical term for it) and I just stuck the control units right there with double sided tape. Perfect fit!

LOL, I couldn't agree with you more on the night shot. I'm going to get some better pics of the gauges tonight. I was rushing taking pics last night since I wanted to go to bed at a decent hour.

Try some clear RTV silicone from any auto parts store, and glue from the inside creating a bead. Just a thought, haven't done it.

Tru dat! Next mission: Update vehicle profile!

I took some better pics tonight, and added a few. See my original post above for the new pics and a WAY better night shot!

FYI: Here a graphical representation of where I mounted the control units:



Here's another shot from the outside so you can see the speaker grill. (Nevermind the bug guts on the window) It turned out really nice. Model glue appears to be doing the trick. We'll see how it stands up to the Arizona heat.
