Anyone add gauges to their Gen1? I have three 2 1/16" gauges to put in and thought about a pillar pod, but also am thinking about above the instrument cluster. Would that obstruct my view too much?

 

Has anyone deleted the little dash box and put gauges there?

delete your radio, and put in a single din gauge holder i have one that holds (three) 2-1/16... they don't make pillar pods for our cars and you might not be able to see your cluster properly unless you really don't care about seeing how fast you're going...

I like it, but don't really want to move the fan wiring.

I was thinking about this universal three unit dash pod. Please pardon my horrible MS-Paint skills.

On top of the Instrument cluster.

I do like this idea, but would require me gettting an amp and just wire it to my phone or to a bluetooth adapter. I will think about that.

i have an audio processor that sits under the seat, or you could do what i used to do and have your ipod hooked straight into an amp which goes to speakers.... and such...
