My current cluster looks like this, however I could use a NO2 and Fuel Pressure gauge plus a boost gauge. This is why I am interested in what was done above.



Please don't tell me the "Killer Angel" has the burlwood kit! At least get black birds-eye maple or CF if you must!

Yes she does. Like to drive in style. Besides cf is far too slow and too common. Haven't found one cf car that can keep pace yet.

Tomei has a wideband air fuel gauge.

I have an AFR guage along with boost guage( not fond of the dashboard stock ).. seems to cheat a little. I must say the pilar looks RICY.. but it is the best place for them. Im having trouble looking down and doing test runs to see what my AFRS or boost levels. and doing this on a street at 80 MPH isnt safe. so all in all, i think if one wants guages... the pilar is where they should be.
just my thoughts.

Thats great. All leather or do they come in carbon too? Boost, AFR, and EGT is the must for tuned cars.

Not sure if it's the angle of the shot, but the way the pods are located in the photo, they do seem to thicken the a-pillar quite a bit... if you're still in the R&D stages, you may want to consider rotating the pods more inline between the eyes and the a-pillar... in other words, rotate the pod locations more "clockwise".

This looks too ricey, the guages stick out too far and are not practical. You don't want too much of a distraction like this..

Should be toned down to match the car, not a Honda.

its not about asethetics the a pillar is more on functionality side..

a pillar gauges functionality before aesthetics in my opinion...

it only seems ricey bec.. it has been bastardized by the import community...

See if you can take a pix of it from further back in the cockpit so as to get a better perspective... right now, the camera is so close to the gauges that proportions are distorted. I think that would help a lot for people to visualize it.

It's more of a Bling thing anyway, you don't see guages like this on track cars, there always mounted in the dash where you can just glance down to view them. These seem like somebody with this level of a car is trying too hard to draw attention, like look what I have. Sometimes less is more, a little more professional look would be in the center console area.
