Definately post up your results. I'm more interested in seeing how your setup will look, seeing as that's identical to what I'm planning on doing. Can't wait to hear about your progress...

I actually wouldn't want it on the steering column, I would want it on the bezel to the left of the speedo. I like the looks of the bezel w/ a single gauge pod, especially if the gauge matches the stock speedo and tach. I'm not a big fan of it on the column. I'm sure yours will look better than what's available to-date, but I have my heart set on the gauge bezel mounted setup...

no doubt. yeah he thinks he's submitting his to a company yet has to scrap around for money for his turbo kit etc. I wonder if he ever put the time into finding out how much and injection mold costs lol. updates soon hopefully.

That looks really good. How much more does it weigh than a stock bezel? Did I say that looks good?

yea, I asked about weight. I was curious if you doubled the weight of the bezel. I'm not trying to save weight, I might have a source for ABS plastic and was curious about how much of it you used.
