Opinion: Too ricey?
« on: October 20, 2012, 12:54:39 PM »
So I have 3 more gauges I really don't need. It would be nice to have them. This is the only spot I can place them. What you kids think?

It's a bit much for me, but I've seen much worse.

Looks strange from the windshield IMO. Maybe a cover of some kind to smooth out the look?

More isnt always better, and if you don't really need them why bother?  Your interior looks really nice...keep it that way.

Gotta go with the consensus. Not feeling the love for the extra gauges.

How about some sort of digital panel multi-gauge display that you cycle through the functions? Conspicuously placed of course.

You ask if it's too ricey AFTER you painted your car orange and put a widebody kit on it  :scratch:
