^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Really not wanting it to cover up or distract (aka too big) from the speedo, tach, etc. I assume it replaces the stock bezel (preferred) as opposed to simply covering.



Thanx! :)

i think it partially blocks the edges of the fuel/temp guages but then again those gauges don't tell you shit anyways. i'm sure the gauges you're putting in that cluster are much more useful.

I have one of those in Kandy. From the drivers view, it doesnt block the inner gauges at all, but I think it depends on exactly where your head sits.

I used to have one too, and I really liked it. I thought it was neat because that way I didn't need gauges on my A pillar. That was until some fucker(s) broke into my car and stole it.

HMmmmmmmmmmmm, well...... the 1x I've shown @ the top is actually just an OBX off ebay, hadn't seen the Autometer. I really wasn't wanting it to block the fuel/temp, reason why I was hoping for a pic to see how bad. I'm going to go ahead & get it since everyone overwhelming likes it.

I really don't like having gauges in the center vents (loox non-stock I guess, would rather have on A-pillar). Hadn't thought about my height, I guess I'd see more of the stock gauges as I'm 6'4" tall (just about the height limit of our car).

P.S.
Still haven't brought myself 2 ruining the seat sliders & cutting off the rear stands 2 permanently lower driver's seat, lol :)

Thanx guys, gonna order one now...

Oh my, oh yes... it is!

I pulled out a temp tag for my '99 'just to be safe' for the time being, EGT gauge just came in late today, was driving the 99 around... even a light boost w/ 5psi blows N/A away, gotsta give way 2 the boost! The fact that it's running @ 14psi is all that more unbelievable.

2x things R pissing me off 2 no end tho...
1.) The #$%^*%$ sh*tty idle
2.) The lack of gauges
...not to mention my inXperience w/ turbos in general

Standing Q:
Any idea of impact of exhaust manifold leak on idle?

P.S.
My idle sux a**, HELP ME!
Searching day & night...

I have a headache, information overload

Here is a pic of my instrument panel. The gauges really do not get in the way of the factory gauges that much.

Hey, great... just what I was looking for, I appreciate it! U're right, it doesn't cover up but just the tail end of the gas/temp. Not bad @ all, glad I went for it.

Thanx 4 the pic!!!!!!!!

Is there any difference at all between the autometer and obx ones?

LOTS! they fit like granny ass in a thong!
autometer is the only one i have heard about that fits like stock, all the others leave gaps or ugly screws visible...

Dont go OBX if you have the choice, OBX is just crap imo. I have the OBX bezel, it doesn't have any clips to lock into place and has 2 holes for screws, its 1/2" too short vertically and doesn't cover, its just half assed looking.
