Default Blitz Electronic Gauges Installed in Radio Door (Radio stays intact)

This is my solution to remaining stealthy. I didn't want pods on the pillar. The gauges plug into a network card mounted behind. They are removable and can be stuck anywhere in the car.

Nice idea, but how can you look at gauges that are mounted so low when driving?

The gauges are really visible. The way the door face is angled aims them right at you. They are also slightly offset So they're visible thru all the shift range except boost is a bit blocked in 5th. If you need to move them say for the track, they are on long cords that coil behind the console and blitz makes a window mount kit to set them in...velco works too because they don't weigh much being all electronic.

So far so good

They fit!! I've had my eye on these Greddy's for a while now, but wasn't sure whether they fit or not. That is a sweet install. I just wish they offered more selection (not to mention a lower price).

How much do you want for 20 hours of your time plus the costs of the gauges and parts, which are about half of the total? Should I give my time away just for the fun of it?

I make these myself, and I have another career. But then again, I posted detailed instructions on how to do it, so if you want to try it yourself you can save $500-$600 in my labor.
