Default Gauge pod + gauges

About mid July, I ordered a zerosports gauge hood, Apexi water temp gauge & an Apexi gauge controller. I FINALLY got the order completed yesterday, yep, 5 and a half months later I got the parts, they were ordered from Nengun Performance in Japan (it was a good price).
Due to my wait, and, the lack of correspondence (sp?) on their part, Id highly recommend AVOID!!!!!


Annyways, despite still needing to buy 1 more gauge, (I havent decided on what the 3rd gauge should be) Ive fitted the pod and gauges in, thought Id take a few photos.

+1 for avoiding nengun.. gauges look good otherwise.

i like the idea of having the clock in it as well. Thats handy.

I woulda gone for boost/oil press/oil temp rather than water temp.. its not really needed seeing as tho there is a water temp gauge in the dash already... but each to their own.

Something I really wanna do, but I dont have the $$ atm.

nice Looks the part!

One question tho... Do they face directly forward or are they angled slightly towards the driver?..... just curious

ever so slightly towards the driver, but id say its pretty straight facing, doesnt overly bother me though.

sweet...definently looks the part anyway!

Gives the interior that 'cockpit' look!

Was thinking of something like this for my GC8, what sort of price did you pay mate?...... If you dont mind me asking.

Another one here for the Oil temp/pressure gauge. Had it in my 3 guage pod in my old rex, was pretty useful.
