i thought about getting a 3 guage set up. like the aluminum piece thats bent and has 3 holes in it, the most basic pod ever...

anyways, i was gonna put that onto my center consel on the drivers side so the guages ran along the side up near the TC shifter handle. facing upward.

kinda hard to explain and i havnt done it yet since i dont think i need 3 more guages just yet.

I don't have any pics, but I just have an dual needle air pressure gauge for my OBA system mounted in a A-pillar gauge pod. Some day I plan on making a complete new instrument cluster to replace all the factory gauges but retain all the indicator lights too.

i realize that. In Canada our cars come with airbags as well believe it or not.

the harness was chopped, extended and relocated to the air bag location.
