I think the WRX vents are even 60mm, so it may even be possible to stick a WRX vent in one of the holes on that set up. Here's a pic of the other way around, where someone stuck a gauge in the vent similar to your idea.

Holes are 52. Its not posible to fit 60 without midification do dash it self.. Still thinking about vents... Even if i would make them - they would be small - and not posible to close them... Just holes on the sides..

Would it be possible to have a 1-gauge pod and keep one of the two original vents (swap it from the the OEM panel)? With a N/A engine, all you really need is oil temp anyway and the passenger (aka "the GF") can keep a vent on her side.

There will be single gauge pod pretty soon too. It will be dash mounted - keeping all the vents in place.

Should be easy to mount if to the existing pillar. Temporarily. And then get the single pod when it comes out.

I think the best idea would be a retrofit into the actual gauge cluster of the car. The analog speedo is 99.9% worthless anyways, just cram 2-3 gauges in place of that thing.

I like the design of the pod in the middle. I will definitely be up for one once they are ready. It is a bit rounded as another member mentioned. Will it be tweaked? |

As for the roundness - you will see that its not that 'round' from all the different angles. It flows into whole interior once its in paint |
