Default Angled gauges in dash-Jacko

Listen, I had this idea for a long time now but didn't act on it because the gauges I wanted weren't available back then. So don't think i'm copying you. But now they are available so I started to migrate my gauges from my radio door to the dash with angle rings. Actually, the gauges on the radio door I will not use, they will be up for grabs.

Driver's view
You get a bit of an angle thats seems to satisfy me so I will stick to it.


skinny side of angle ring


thick side of angle ring

That's a great location for the gauges. Not feeling your choice in gauges though. Also, you got a lot of freaking devices on your dash. If you like it it's all good...just not for me.

the gauges are not a %100 what I wanted but FJO gauges are really damn good gauges and their sensors are superb. Plus I like digital gauges over analog. Easier to read at a glance plus they look cool.

And yeah I like all my devices in my car. They are not there just for show but to do their job
Why not Defi gauges? They are amongst the best available.

True, that was my second choice but do they come digital? Last time I checked they don't. If they do now, oh well too bad.

And also defi gauges are 2 5/8, much bigger than the smaller gagues at 2 1/16.
Although i didn't measure for 2 5/8 I suspect that trying to fit 5 gauges at 2 5/8 each would be tougher and getting pretty close to the passenger's vent which I do not want to touch/modify.
No...they are analog...but they are pimp!

I will definitely be getting those gauges when I go boost.
