I just got done wrapping up the install on my Auto Meter Ultra Lite Boost Gauge. I went a different route and used a metal Gauge Cup made by Auto Meter. I had a couple idea's to put it and the final decesion was to mount it inside my cluster area and mounted to the top of it. It sits perfectly in front of my speedo. I can still see until 110 mph. I rarly go above that so it doesn't effect me that much.

I really like the way it's mounted. I never seen one put in this area before. Some may like it....Some may not. But all that matters is how I feel and how I like it to be. But anyway. Here are the pictures. Sorry for the crapy quality. I will post better pictures either in the day time or around dusk. But it looks awesome from outside the car :cool:

O boy, thats pimpin. That would make a very sweet sig pic if you had the boost up to 30 almost :cool: . I dont have a cool picture, mine is just in my gauge pod on the side.
 
Wish I had some non-blurry ones. And don't tell me to go take one now b/c I'm 2/3 asleep.

illusioneclipse & Turbo Juice - what bulbs did u use? and where did ya get em. I love the look
 
You can get some pretty high intesity colored bulbs online. Check ebay, and some of the gauge face vendors.

Only one I had on hand...

I'm thinking of getting orange leds in them to match the rest of the interior

Ok, let me make it clear. For my boost and volt gauge, i used led bulbs where the stock bulbs where. But for the a/f, there isn't any bulb in the back, I didn't want only 2 blue and the a/f is plain, so i had to buy led (shown in the picture) to make it blue. It is placed by the a/f gauge shine at it.

Defiant....That's great. I might use that as my sig on another board I am on. Well I took some day time shots of how my gauge is mounted. Opinions are open. Tell me if you like it and tell me if you don't.

Doesn't it get in the way of your speedometer? How fast you're going is kind of important.. especially if there are cops around.
 
I am sorry but i am not a fan of it either. no i have never sen it there before, but i think there is a reason for it. If you like it in that are just get this............
