Well I wish I could start a poll on this but can't.

Now I am stuck on which set-up to choose from.Now I know it's my car,build it your own way, but I'm just looking for opinions on what you guys think.

Now the first option is mount my 7" monitor where the vent is and my gauges down where the radio is. Now I think this would look good but the monitor might be annoying,not sure.

The second option is the 3 gauges in the vent and radio in the stock location,Now this one isn't really original, but I wouldn't buy some flat piece of aluminum from ebay. I am going to machine a piece of aluminum with angles in it to angle the gauge more towards me.

This is what I am kinda looking at only mine will be Aluminum and the gauges won't be sticking out so much.

Any input would help,Also if anyone has pictures of the cd player in the vent post 'em up.I haven't really seen it.


Thanks

Mount them on your headliner, yeah thats a cool spot. Or on your hood like a muscle car. Would be so cool. Yeah.

I don't care if you care about what cd player I have. I got such an amazing deal on it I could not pass it up.

I'm not looking for "cool" more of sleek and function. I will not put pillar gauges in since I hate them.

Well I can make one up in class in a day to pass time when i'm waiting to start something. It probably has been done but I have seen the flat mount ones and I would want it angled towards me some.

Good thing you can't make a Poll, because it would have been just as worthless as this Thread.

As it has already been stated...

-It's your car, do what you want with it.
-There is an interior thread if you need ideas for your lack of imagination.
-This thread is locked.
