2g gauge in center vent

[TSIMonsteR]

nice... I couldn't do without my center vent though. It gets real cold in the winter

 

[dave99gst]

Are those pro sport gauges ?

I think so ya -- they extreamly cheep'o ones from ebay -
I really like how they look - but the EGT gauge it total crap

 

[andymoraitis]

Looks incredible Dave. I don't remember seeing that before. I like it!

 

[Synapses]

The EGT gauge is crap ? Why? I Have the same one's that I just installed.

 

[LaN-]

this just make me want to start my fiberglass projects sooner, instead of waiting for winter

Good job

 

[Whiplash]

That looks sick.

 

[RavenX]

So am guessing you don't have A/C right?

 

[dave99gst]

Thanks guys --

yeah i still have a/c - a vent on each door,the defrost vents and the floor vents are more then enough to maintain temp.

The Gauge it self is fine.. the probe is junk.
It does have a 1 year warrenty , so you can keep getting it replaced.

I've seen sites selling almost that exact same bezel that you posted above. I think the difference is that the gauges in yours looks tilted toward the driver.

 

[nice97civic]

is that a lexus is300 speedo guage?

 

[SinaiTSi]

Can I have your autograph?

Seriously though, that is sick looking. I'm thinking about doing it now.

 

[DSMborikua]

hey i went on how do it yourself, but the one you have is for teh turbo stuff, i was wondoring how would you do it like dat, like looking towards the driver like the pic on the top?????

 

[thegchild04]

the vent pod looks great!

Just wondering if anyone on the forum has bought this item from Extremepsi? I wanted to know how the greddy profec fits in there. If there are any gaps. By the looks of the picture it looks like it isnt going to mount that good. I am looking for pictures of people that have already bought and installed it. Thanks.

I couldn't imagine spending 50 bucks on that. $5 piece of plexiglass and a hour with a dremel and you can make it however you want.

I dont think the $50 is that bad. It is clean cut and comes with all them mounting hardware. Anyone else have some pics??

 

[chris712vt]

I don't have the one that holds a profec, but I bought my dual gauge pod from extremepsi a couple weeks ago. I've got two 60mm gauges in there now, looks and fits great!

Yea I like that one too. It is alot cleaner than the one I was looking at. I only really need one that holds 1 gauge though.

I made my own using the stock piece as a support then using a flat sheet of carbon and a dremel tool.

 

[dsmpokolm]

Do you have some pictures of the piece you made?? You used a piece of carbon?? Please explain.

How do you use it? Just lay it over the stock piece and heat it up??

I took the stock air vent piece and had to use the dremel took to grind it down. The piece that separates the two vents has an arc to it that's why. The I used a dremel to cut out the holes for the buttons and I used gorilla glue to glue the cf sheet to the plastic center vent structure. I would remove the plastic pieces in the dash so when you turn on your heat it doesn't blow into this causing the glue to heat up.

Do you have a picture of the back part of this piece??

 

[chris712vt]

haha, it's installed in my car already which is in my buddy's garage a couple miles away. And that's the only pic I have of it so far. But if it's any help, it has 4 screw mounts on the back where you attach the sensor/button clusters. I'll try and remember to get a pic next time I'm out working on the car if you want.

PS, my whole gauge pod cost like 20 bucks, same as just the small piece of carbon fiber alone in that link. Nowhere near $50.
