I have 3 gauges here I want to sort of hide form view in my S14. I already have some A-pillar gauges but they were already there. I'd like to have them gone.

But anyway, anyone have any pictures of some cool set-ups?

And also, what is a voltage gauge used for and why is it necessary?

haha these guys arent very nice..but hey use your imagination bro cause thats what makes a car original, the 12v is just for the lights of the gauge(depends on the gauge), so unless you want them on all the time, get a 12v that stays on only when you turn your interior lights on

You could easily mount 2 of them on either side of the steering wheel shroud hanging over on each side.

I have 1 mounted there that sits off center to the right, When driving it does block a bit of the cluster but i guess the reason you have gauges for is to not rely on the cluster anyway.

I personally have a thing for the multiple gauges mounted on the middle of the dash look. The thread on the second post above should help you.

I have 3 gauges here I want to sort of hide form view in my S14.

why would you want to hide something from being viewed when that's exactly what they're made for?

:hide:

Ill post my setup later i can even remake it but its not very cheap since it took me awhile to create. Also look at broadfields gauge seetups to get some ideas

What size are they and brand/model? What radio are you running? You could always do (3) 52mm below the radio but mounted so they are behind the radio trim... be it molded or simply slapped on a plate that is rear mounted to the trim. Then make a cover plate that flushes into the opening. That way they are hidden when YOU want them to be.
