Imo i dont see why you would want to mess up your dash, But If its what you want to do, No one can stop you from what you want.

it just sits on top the dash...

 

[DSM_IKE]

How will you get it to stay?

 

[anthonydinatale]

I made something like this but never used it I'm going to build a different one

So ricey...

I see a leather wrapped steering wheel so you either have a GST or a GSX. Leave it low key.

If it's done right i don't think it would look bad I'll make another see how it looks if I don't like it I won't put it on. I'm also trying to fond a spot for gauges

 

[fourleaf033]

GSX and no rice...when its done it will look sleek... and in a better position to keep an eye on all the critical information

 

[STORTZ77]

if its done right and doesnt look sloppy itll look great

Reminds me of the wrx pod.

Ive seen worse, wings 3 feet high and I go to plenty of car shows each year, if not too flashy, just dont paint it purple with stripes . Props for diy.

so after you mount the gauge pod how would you run the wires. Also how would you mount it?

 

[crazyboy81]

It doesn't blend well with the dash at all as far as shape and form goes. If anything, try to get it flowing from the right side of the vents to the top of the column, one uniform curve as it it were natural.

For me, since I mess with my car daily and hit the junkyard all the time for parts, I wouldn't do it. But it's your car.

The pic I posted was still pretty raw...Since posting that pic i have lowered it alittle, cant too much because the gauges wont fit then.

This might actually turn out good if everything is done cleanly.

 

[xiteamxi]

yea if done right i think it would look nice and easyer to keep an eye on it
