If you produce replacement parts so we can keep the originals in case ever want to go back, I'm definitely in! This is the nicest setup so far! Honestly, this car really should have come from the factory with more gauges.

Nailed the cluster design!!! I'd even say a button relocation package would be a hit too if its necessary to mount the new cluster piece...

Tough thing is that the brz has that panel used up already for the headlight leveling. I have to figure out a spot I can move it to elsewhere in the car but most likely it would need a harness extension.

You should definitely consider making two versions, one with gauge pods on both sides and another with just the right side. I personally would rather keep the buttons where they are and use a multifunction gauge on the right side of the cluster.

This will also be very popular, I would lean towards this too.

That's brilliant!

Yeah id defiantly go with 2 gauges on the pillar and then the single on the right hand side of the gauge cluster.

One of the manufactures on here had gauges you could mount on the steering wheel, maybe it was perrin. The name escapes me.

Definitely interested in the single gauge option!

Supermassive · 12-16-2012, 05:03 PM

I'm all for dual gauge, pillar pods look chintzy, and scream "racer boi" to cops when you're pulled over. The dual gauge surround is perfect because it's stealthy, the gauges are right in line of sight and in my case with the AEM Truboost gauge i can easily reach it to adjust my boost pressure...

kmbkk · 12-16-2012, 05:59 PM

If I go with this, I'm in for the single gauge option, using an AEM Failsafe gauge.

Let me know if you want one of the AEM gauges. I can talk to my shop in Miami to see what kind of deal I can get.
