custom guage mount in dash mounted

I have fiberglassed and painted my new guage that i mounted in dash. The guage is not hooked up yet but i believe i am going to put nitrous gauge in there. let me know opinions. The paint matches up pretty close too.

I would assume it's like a remote start, but you would somehow have to bypass the theft lock and keep the car running.

They sell kits on ebay for like $40, but not sure how friendly it is on the ignition system

You would just have to install a button really and remove the start wires from the ignition tumbler and move them over to the button instead. Seems silly through since you would still have to turn the key anyway.
