    That's my only concern. I texted someone in town yesterday who does vinyl wrapping and showed her the part. She doesn't think it would be possible to wrap.

    I suppose it could be hydrodipped, though.
    My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency!

      How often do you want to scan the gauges?

      The lower they are, the less likely you will watch them. I had cluster gauges in the STi and while I occasionally looked at them, it wasn't something I monitored often. The radio DIN gauges would be even harder to read.

      I don't care for the pillar gauges all that much, but at least those are closer to your line of sight. If you can adapt an Evo / STi dash mount, that's how I'd go.

      I had a dash mount setup on my STi and they were perfect for viewing. You can also go to larger gauges (60mm) which help with visibility.

        I got the Prosport premium evo 52mm gauges. They have audible low and high peak alarms so i don't really have to scan them regularly. Already decided i am going to put them in radio din as easy to connect them and going to get a third oil temp gauge also. Going to order that glowshift radio din panel gauge mount and see how that looks. Now i just need to know the best way to bring them in from the engine compartment to radio compartment? Anyone know?
