I think this is the best spot for a triple gauge cluster. 😄😄

That's really sweet and useful may I add. How was the installation, inside and under the hood?

I actually took it to a shop to have them wire it. I have no experience with electrical wiring and wanted to have it neatly done, but the gauge pod installation was custom. I had ordered the CF pod from eBay(china) and the design was so out of spec because the OEM piece had clips that held it in. While this piece had screw holes ><. Another problem was that once I've removed the silver trim dash, there was another layer of plastic. Had to use the Dremel and make some cuts and holes

When I get the chance to I'll take some pictures! The CF piece is currently damaged on the mounting points from the install so when I have time to patch it up I'll remove it.
It's hella ugly behind that pod hahaha

I think ATI makes a triple gauge pod meter for the dash but it pops out instead of looking flush and you won't need to make any cuts. Plug and play i think?

that looks good but makes me wonder about the airbag? might be scary or did you remove it ?

I believe the airbag pops out from the top of the dash, not from that trim piece.

Yeah before I had it wired through that spot I checked the crash test videos. It pops out from the top of the dash then comes forward.
