CP-E Gauge Pod with Defi Gauges Installed

Last month I finally got around to installing my CP-E gauge pod with Defi gauges.

Thought y'all might enjoy some of the pics I took:

I'm 6'0". If you're short, I would definitely not recommend this setup. The only way to see over the gauges is if you're somewhat tall.

Yeah, like I said, if you're not pretty tall, your view will be obstructed. Luckily I'm tall enough to where my view is perfectly fine and I can see over them completely.

I like it, although for a daily driver Im wondering if it would get annoying/distracting.

I use my X as a daily driver (50 mile round-trip commute) and so far I've found it quite useful (especially the oil temperature for allowing the car to warm up in the morning). I don't find it annoying or distracting.

One problem though is the fact that I find myself eyeing the boost gauge more than the speedometer.

How hard was the install of the pod? I like its location but I'm unsure of how to remove that top panel to install the pod.

I have the CP-E gauge pod with the AEM Boost, Wideband A/F, and Oil Temp and I must say it looks clean! Im 5'6 and other then making sure i sit up straight it only takes about 2 or 3 inches away from the road. I still rather have this set up then anything else right now.

Oh and installing kinda tricky just use the instructions and youll be fine.

Looks like an airplane ready for takeoff! I wish the MMCS would display all this information like the GTR.
