That... seems like a really, really bad idea. Do they mount over the airbag cover, or is the airbag removed in favor of the gauges? Either way, not exactly something I'd be willing to do in my car. :(

It's really not that bad. Normally the airbags blow downward so the pods get pushed up and out of the way. I'll see if I can find some pics...

These vents are ussualy blowing cold air - no matter what you set up... But yea - these are no longer functional.

Theres still idea - about making small vents on the side - cuz there are some place left - but it might come a bit too much design wise...

Well, it looks great, should look even better once its finished, great work.

Will there be options with finish and or packages that include the 3 gauges?

Defiantly there will be options about finish, so far im thinking about Color coded, black rough plastic, CF... Or just anyway possible :) Even wrapped in leather or sway... :)

Watch this to see where I mounted my AFR gauge. Works pretty well. How many gauges do you actually need?

I need to mount 2 actual gauges since I am using the AEM Trueboost controller, and an AEM UEGO Wideband gauge. I really like the mounting point for that wideband though might have to pick your brain as to how you did the mount.

Wideband would be good there. Maybe down by the cellphone cubby below the radio for boost controller? Got a pic of the boost controller?

Here's the Trueboost kit. It's really slick since you can set boost on the fly.

Hmmm, why not stick the gauge on the left. Maybe stick the knob by the gas cap release. See crudely microsoft painted picture below for both.
Now that I think about it this is exactly what I'll be doing.
