Those are cool, but my normal hand position would cover it. I’d like to have a normal oil temp gauge since my innovate dual gauge is just a graph on the outside of my pressure gauge.

Oh, I factored in my AARP, Military and Senior discounts -

100% true. My only complaint about mine.

Yeah. Actually drove with it installed for the first time earlier. I do have that issue as well. But I kinda figure I can shift my hand quickly enough to glance at it anyway.

Will need to drive more and experiment.

I usually only glance at my gauges on long straights so it’s not insurmountable. I’m out of room though so vent mount is my only other option.

can do a scangauge ii that does similar. and you can mount the scangauge anywhere. it's about the size of a radio display.

i don't seem to have a pic, but i put mine in that cubby in front of the shifter, under the hvac-- with a little work, and some spray paint.

i'm currently monitoring intake air temp, water temp, oil temp, and battery voltage. i never got the trans temp codes to work despite trying every posted subaru/toyota variation.

No room in front of the analog speedometer?

I had no idea the difference comes down to gauge placement. Learn something new everyday.

Just one part of the “look”. Usually seen in conjunction with overly loud exhaust, huge flashy wheels with too much offset, and window cracked just enough for the vape to escape.

That is cool, haven't seen one of them before. I would want to put it somewhere the info is right in my face. Maybe 3D print an enclosure to mount it on top of the dash or the top section of the cluster.

I have my switch panel for my trac box mounted in that cubby already.
