New gauge setup.. DDM and ZZP

I got all my gauges setup how I want them now. I think I saw it floating around here somewhere that the DDMworks Sky / Solstice gauge holder / radio mount works in the Cobalt. So I chanced it and ordered one. VERY nice piece:



Voltmeter is unnecessary I know, but I wanted to have the extra spot for a more useful gauge down the road if need be. Here's a look at the whole setup:



My eyes are usually looking at the pillar pod (ZZP) which houses the dual interceptors and AEM wideband. I figured the boost gauge in the middle was kinda cool for me and passengers to see too.

What do you guys think?

I do like the custom made cluster pods, could never find a nice looking one for sale, didn't have patience to make one myself.

Mine is a mechanical. The little plastic fitting that comes with it is junk, I went to the hardware store and got a brass T for under the hood, then put a barbed fitting on the back of the gauge. Ran rubber vacuum line into the car instead of that crappy nylon stuff that kinks and bends so easily.

I'd stay mechanical, it is instant and accurate.

Hmm, going to see if the kit for the Cobalt's and HHR are the same now. Tempted to do this and lose my pillar, add a wideband, and Aeroforce.

Joe if you have the same radio as the Cobalt or the Sky / Solstice it SHOULD be the same. That's the gamble I took and it fits perfectly. I have a few pictures somewhere of the piece out of the car, before I installed it. I'll try and get those in this thread in a bit.

It's a cool idea, But i saved money by purchasing a double din radio, and fiberglassing it and putting gauges in it. Was like 25$ all said and done with paint and all.
