I know this is nothing new or anything, but I'm really happy with how it turned out and I wanted to share it.

It was made by Boosted_Cobalt09, Werks Performance's Test car, who is a relaly good friend of mine. Lining it up and putting it in, believe it or not took almost 4 hours. He had to drill and dremel into the actual gauge cluster a little on the side to get it to fit in a few areas. And then it wouldn't read boost or vaccum. So then a few days later
(today) I reworked the line just slightly and got it to read, and it does it perfectly now. =)
I thought it was going to light up red, but I was presently surprised when it was red! Made the setup that much more clean! In the pictures it looks kind of orange, buts its very red. =)

Enjoy!

 

correction. drill through the entire cluster then dremel it to fit perfectly. i have a pictar on my phone somewhere ill post it up. so let that be a note to all of you. mechanical boost gauges in the cluter need to be drilled for.

thanks again! the memory of boosted_cobalt09 remains lol

 

so good!

 

what did you use material wise pvc pipe and bondo

 

I like it where did you get that center cap for the steering wheel from?

 

a special glue called rigid parts repair which is sandable, adhesion promotor, a specialty bondo that was made to adhere to plastic which most bondos CANNOT. a high build flexiable primer, a flexiable basecoat with hardner matched to the oem color. then just some time and sand paper.

also something i want to mention that you cant see in the pics. something i did that no one else does on here is mold the back side of the mod. yes no one will see it but i believe that the parts should look oem and its suppose to look like it was there from the beginning. so the back side is smoothed out aswell.

 

Its not a cap its the whole airbag assembly from an HHR SS.

 

How long did this take you

 

for his it took me about 4 days to do because i have limited time to work on it. he needed his back in a hurry so i took some extra time when i got off work to do it. most people i give myself 2 weeks of grace period to get it done incase anything happens.
