Default Anyone add an outside temp display in their S2000?

I'm trying to find a place to flush mount an outside temp display. I just can't seem to find a good place in this car.

I did this in my 4Runner and can't live without it now:



Anyone do this in their s2k?

How about one of those Day/Night mirrors that have the Compass and Ambient temp display?

That could be a possibility, if I can't find a place to mount the temp display.

xviper, that's the right idea, but I want to mount mine so it's flush, but I just don't see a place.

Keep the ideas coming.

There is easily enough room to mount that thing of mine flush if installed from behind. I just didn't want the extra work.

Also, those rear view mirrors are VERY pricey. I've seen them for as much as $400.00 US.

I still want to do this. The COINHOLDER area would be a perfect place. The problem is, it's vert small and the unit I modded for my 4Runner has much more room for the unit.

Macgyver/Modifry any ideas on a custom board setup that will fit? Of course backit in orange like the dash?

Anyone else think they would want one?

All I can suggest right now is wait until my sensor display board comes out. It will be somewhat of a pricey mod if all you want is the outside temp, but if you want more the price may be more worth it.

I did a detailed report about a year ago. Gave part numbers and everything. Try a search under "Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror" or something like that. If you don't come up with anything let me know.
