Well, I guess it would be alright of an idea, if it was more cleanly done. but nothing lines up, did you look at it close? It will look well if you it gets trimmed and everything lines up nice

fiberglass it in. if not, looks cheap and wasteful.

Very half-assed. I would have used a MachV plate for gauges there.

Agreed, spend the $20 and get one plate made to eliminate the vents and hold gauges.

Make your own plate.

Who needs climate control anyway?

Is oil pressure that much of a worry to you that you have to have the gauge RIGHT there?

Ever think of a bezel mount if you dont already have one? What about a lower dash mount? Door vent mount?

Whatever you do, just clean that shit up.

door vent mount would probably look much better. instead of having just half the vent there, spend the extra little bit of time eliminating the whole vent. get a bezel for that area, you can pick em up for cheap almost anywhere...but i would say, door mount would have been a better idea. here a link http://www.2gnt.com/www/corbin/boost.html i plan on doing this to my car, and to me oil pressure is that important...spun bearings twice in 2 months because there was a prob the factory dummy light didn't tell me about... :shrug :owned
