Sorry to say that , but in my opinion , the wrapping looks really ugly . All this gauges remind me of ( Initial D ) .... FD3S , R32 , EG ....etc .

Not fond of it. Unless your center console is already full.

I've always been a fan of a clean/uncluttered look...so replacing many gauges by a simple digital display would always be my #1 choice.

Not a fan of clusters like that but that's one of the best ones I've seen so far.

It's a good location to see without looking down, the center pod is low and away. Looks fine to me.

I'd get lost looking at that. You need something very clear

Agreed, I had a few gauges down below the radio, and I never bothered looking at them. Heck I have them now right in front of the speedo and I still don't like them as much, i'm just too lazy to order an A piller setup. If they are important, I want them staring at me.

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.





Nitrous and Intercooler high/low/delta

We make them the pods. This was the first car we did, so I would appreciate people feedback. PM me for the price

Those look like AEM gauges... Nice looking gauges. We use Sport Comps that are kinda similair. A lot of the EVOs/STI's run gauges on the a-pilar like that and whilst not everyone likes it, vision-wise it's functional.
