pics of your gauges please.......

i am going to put 4 guages in my car (fuel press, oil temp, tranny temp, and air/fuel.) I would like see what you guys have done with your gauges/ interior. I am familiar with the pods for the A-pillar but was looking to put them under the middle vents. I don't want them to look tacky or i won't install them oh they are all going to be 2 1/16 in size. thnx ahead

I am currently in the process of changing my dash out with Auto Meter Phantom series gauges. I am going to try to post a photo. This is just a working wood mock up and I will be doing the actual finished panel in black plastic so it looks very similar to the original. Still waiting on the Speedo, but I think you can get a good idea of how this will look.

I've posted this pic before, the gauges are 2 1/16". Right now I have boost/vacuum, oil temp and EGT. I'm making a new pod to fit 6 gauges instead of 3 so I can add transmission temp, AFR and fuel pressure.
