When the headlights are on the gauges turn amber.
They're the Prosport Performance series. I removed the smoked covers off and put them behind a piece of plexi glass that I then tinted

95% of those are not about gauges but how ricer everyones interior look with their plaid print.

I too am looking for a place to mount my boost gauge that's not flashy and ricer. I'm in California, which means you do NOT want flashy gauges.

i threw mine where the ash tray used to be. I actually fit two gauges in that spot, its not all mounted pretty but it works and you can remove them quickly if you need to.

Just curious what classifies a RICER gauge placement?

Well my gauges are on the a pillar for now. But when I upgrade to Defi gauges they will be custom placed in the center somewhere. Honestly though I could care less if you like where my gauges are. It's my car. lol

Got some more cool stuff in the works right now... my first S14 cluster and a S14 HVAC panel with some ARK Designs product.

i really really like this setup....like the whole thing, great job man. at first i was like, um gauges are where??? prolly gonna have to copy the plexi/gauge combo when i get my gauges - hopefully in the near future lol.

might be a silly question but do the gauges get hot at all behind the plexi glass?

Thanks man! I need to get some better pictures. Those were actually taken during the DCC install.

They don't get hot, that I've noticed.

Real clean setup I dig it, Looks damn good. Any write up or tips on how you did this, very interested!

So what gauges are decent and affordable? I got some apex'i gauges in my car right now and I need some more of the essentials.

Cool thread though, wish I had $$ for broadfield to do some shit for me

It was actually a lot simpler than I originally anticipated. I got the mount that is holding the gauges out of the junkyard from a z31. Whether or not it was from that car is beyond me, it was just sitting in the seat. Looked like an AC control bezel.

The plexi-glass was the most difficult part. I just traced the outline of my face plate, cut it out with a dremel, and started trimming til it fit behind the radio bezel. The tint I used was, I believe, 30% car window tint and I did both sides as 1 was not enough to black it out when everything was off.

That piece is actually the original mock-up that I did to see how it'd look. The tint has a few bubbles and the cuts are mediocre in straightness. I just picked up another sheet of plexi-glass and will be re-doing it in the next week or so. I'll get some pictures when I do.

How much for this? It would go on an 89 dual cam s13. Plug and play? Is there a fuel gauge or fuel low warning light?
