Not your stock or CF instrument cluster or whatever, I don't care about that. Show me your SC psi, oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, etc... gauges. I was thinking about oil temp, oil pressure, and water temp. I'd like to see some A-pillar mounts, steering column, etc... and where'd you get them/pay?
Here are some pics I've found.

That's from tim330i(moderator), according from a secondary source that's either a leatherz or UUC gauge plate cut out to fit into there.

Greg,
How far are you going to go with your car?
The reason I'm asking, is that you will spend MORE on gauges and appropriate sensors individually, than if you go with a complete display / data logging solution. Consider replacing your stock speedo/tach with something from MoTeC, Stack, or AIM. You'd be surprised how affordable it can be when you add all the little bits up with gauges, sensors, and wiring.

Way too much work, I suck at electronics. As far as I plan for this car to go is club racing anyways.
I thought about where to put my gauges for a while. Didn't like the cubby hole in the console because they are hard to see. Didn't like the steering pods because it looks silly to me(not trying to insult anyones ride). So after a couple of hours, some bondo and chicken wire I came out with this design. In the upcoming weeks I am going to get them produced in plastic. I will keep you guys posted in case anyone is interested.
