I want the first one!
 

I can't wait... this is great. Make sure that there is enough room for the mounting feet from the back to hold, looks like there should be.

Perfect timing....guess what's coming in??????
 

a 52mm boost gauge...&lt;SIGH&gt;

MODCAVE technology is cool! :)

Yes, That's an excellent idea Steve. You will sell lots of those. ;-)

Once...
 

your secret mod is in.. I need to come take a ride!

YGM
 

Not really but I want to be on that list!!

And just in case, why waste your time reading this post AredTT? I wasn't talking to you.

Trent

Absolutely...:)

You know I want 2 of these. Keep me posted :-)

Startin a list, checkin you twice....:-)

A weeny 52mm gauge?
 

BTW I'll email you your tracking #...:-)

I would be intrested

nice... now I need a vent... anyone?

I'll have instructions...>
 

On how to take one apart without destroying it...
It's not that hard. Gauge mod can always be undone.

Gotcha....:-)

hmm... still think I'd feel safer having a separate unit to take apart

Same.. I think that a lot of us would like that "package"

Last time I bought a vent (few years ago) they were $23.....Dunno now.

So this piece fits inside the vent?

Yup....You dissasemble and use the aluminum...>
 

ring and the front plastic piece. Little Silicone seal and it's set for install...Slides right back into the hole. Whadaya want for $20...LOL...

I LOVE it...
 

now I just have to find out how to feed my harness through there to get to the vents.... please tell me I don't have to pull the stereo.

Dunno on the center vents, but..>>
 

Pulling the stereo takes about 10 seconds.....
If you have those keys to insert in the slots...

How do you feed up to the center vent area?

I would pull the radio and the side kick panel...>
 

Should be pretty easy to figure out from there. Lot's have done it.

I was worried you'd say that....
 

I'm going to try to get at it without removing the stereo... One less thing on my dash finally.. I hate having my gauge up there.

cool...but does it still retents the function to open/close vent?

Uh......No, fraid not...>
 

You can't stick a gauge in a vent and expect it to still open/close. The mechanism shown here, is removed.

Lower dash removed...there's room to for wires up the side of the radio.

Another nice score......You're gonna make a living at this ain't ya?

LOL...Thanks Dan..>
 

Not $20 at a time I'm afraid...Lucky I have some retirement money I can tap!

I'll bet it beats the hell outta showing up for work every day.

Yes it does!

powdercoat them black and you have a winner.
 

I'm not sure AWE powder coats theirs, but it is painted black which disappears and the gauge appears to 'float' in the middle.

Good idea....I'll offer both probably..

I suggest anodized black aluminum

This was just tacked on to a GadgeTT order..>
 

so it had to be the same material. only 15 coming. If there's any demand, I'll consider other materials....

Very good idea.

but still nice..if it can achieve the looks of the AWE gauge, count me in!

I like it. I agree that black will probably look best. Great idea!

Count me in..
 

..I improvised a way to fit my gauge in the center vent, but I'd love something more solid.
